I've used Linkway cars and found them much better than other ones in ED. The cars are newer, cleaner and the driver was happy to give changes which you often find them not having any coins!

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 use reliable in Herne Hill - They are always on time and the cheapest by far!

Greyhound used here

- always good, on time etc and provided a free journey once when 1/2 hr late

Just take care with time estimates - especially in the rush hour - your estimate may be better than theirs!
