Esskay Cars provides private taxi and airport transfer services across Greenwich, covering Blackheath, Charlton, Woolwich, Eltham, and the surrounding SE postcodes. Whether you need a local taxi, an airport transfer to Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted, Luton, or London City, or a seaport transfer to Dover, Tilbury, Southampton, Portsmouth, or Harwich, we run fixed-price journeys with licensed, insured, and DBS-checked drivers.
Getting around from Greenwich
Greenwich has Southeastern trains to London Bridge and Cannon Street, the DLR towards Bank, and the Jubilee line at North Greenwich. For airport runs, cruise days or anything with a lot of luggage, a booked car from your door is usually simpler than changing trains.
Where we pick up in Greenwich
We collect from Greenwich town centre, the Peninsula and North Greenwich, Blackheath, Charlton and Westcombe Park (SE10, SE3, SE7). Around the Cutty Sark and the market the roads are narrow and busy, so we usually agree a pickup point on a quieter street nearby. Routes out start on the A2 or the A102 towards the Blackwall and Silvertown tunnels.
We drop off across SE10, SE3 and SE7, including the Peninsula apartments, Blackheath Village and Maritime Greenwich. Weekend market traffic around the town centre can slow the last mile, so it helps to share any building entrance or gate code when you book.
Included with every Greenwich booking
- A fixed fare, agreed before you travel
- Licensed, insured and DBS-checked drivers
