On the advice of this thread we used The Keen Group mobile app to book a taxi to take us from Bellenden Road area to Tulse Hill (and back again). The app worked fine. Cab turned up quickly and was in good nick. Friendly drivers. ?12 each way seemed reasonable. Will be using them again.
I have used the Keen Group for many years - they are reliable and almost always seem to be able to send you a cab quickly at short notice. My only slight concern is that they do seem to be taking over almost all of the other local cab firms and (perhaps as a result of a lack of competition?) a couple of times recently friends have been a bit surprised by the price quoted for relatively local journeys. That having been said, they are reliable and they do quote a price in advance so you can decide whether you are happy with it or not before you confirm the booking.

    • I think a lot depends on how you will deal with school drop offs and pickups in primary school. If you’re going to have a nanny to do that then great, but if you’ll be doing that yourself you’ll need to factor the home -> school -> station timings. Our son went state (Belham and Charter East) which with wrap around care made the timings manageable. I don’t know if the private primaries have busses, so maybe it’s not so bad… Commute wise it depends where in the city you work. Thameslink is great if you’re near St Paul’s or Farringdon. Southern to London Bridge and then tube or bus (though I hate changing to the Northern Line at rush hour at LB). Or even for some places Windrush to Lizzie line, district line or walk (when I go to Bishopsgate I tend to walk from Shoreditch High St).    Choosing  a station with options helps with any transport disruption so Herne Hill of the places you listed. If you’re looking further afield, towards Denmark Hill has good connections and you can walk/cycle down Greendale to get to Alleyn’s or JAGs. You might also consider some of the streets near Warwick Gardens on the Peckham side, the Villa is a well regarded pre-prep and Peckham Rye station is well connected.  Good luck.
