TfL licensed operator, Licence 11588.
About Islington
Islington punches well above its size — Angel is one of London's busiest nightlife and shopping districts, Upper Street runs a mile of restaurants and bars, and Camden Passage keeps a genuine antiques-market character just off the main drag. Sadler's Wells is one of the world's leading dance venues, and to the north, Emirates Stadium brings Arsenal's match-day crowds through the borough's streets.
That mix of nightlife, theatre and football traffic means a booked car genuinely helps here. RushXO runs a dedicated Islington rota; our drivers plan around Emirates Stadium's kick-off traffic and Upper Street's weekend crowds automatically.
