early am taxis in London
Hello everyone: Does anyone know how difficult it would be to get a cab in the vicinity of Gloucester Rd Tube station at around 4:30 in the am? Should we try to reserve one or go out on Cromwell or Gloucester and try to hail one?<BR><BR>We have to catch an early a.m. Eurostar and I guess the underground doesn't run that early. Any ideas on buses? Thanks much,<BR><BR>Jan<BR><BR>

I know minicabs save you money when travelling to or from airports, but how much is Jan going to save going to Waterloo station to catch the Eurostar?<BR><BR>Jan, if you wanted to take the bus, the N97 night bus will take you to Trafalgar Square (<20 min). From there it is about a 15 minute walk through Charing Cross station and across the Hungerford Bridge to Waterloo.

I live in London (but am a Kiwi) and from Richmond (way out in Zone 4) to Waterloo at that time of the morning it cost me about £24 - I can't imagine a minicab driver would charge you more than £12-15 from Gloucester Road, are you staying with friends or at a hotel? Minicab (a reputable one) will be less stress than Night Bus - although depends on your budget!
