Worth settling first, because it catches people out constantly. This page is about Wallington, in the London Borough of Sutton, postcode SM6 — the town on Woodcote Road with the lavender sculpture at the Stafford Road junction, about ten miles south-west of Charing Cross and four miles from Croydon.
It is not Wellington in Somerset, which is two hundred miles away near Taunton, and it is not Wellington in Shropshire or Wellington in New Zealand. We do not cover any of those. One a, two ls: W-a-l-l-i-n-g-t-o-n.
If you are booking from outside the area, quote the SM6 postcode rather than the town name and there is no room for confusion at all.
Wallington is unusually well connected for a suburban station, and it is the reason the town looks the way it does — the modern centre grew up around the railway in the 1860s, and by the First World War the stretch of Woodcote Road south of the station had become the new High Street.
The station is served by Southern on the Sutton and Mole Valley lines, sits in London fare zone 5 between Waddon and Carshalton Beeches, and is about twenty-one kilometres from London Bridge. Off-peak it runs two trains an hour to each of four destinations:
Peak hours add a half-hourly service to Sutton. Eight trains an hour into two different London termini is a good deal better than most of the towns we cover manage.
Not the commute, mostly. With that timetable the train is usually the sensible option, and we would rather say so. The work here is the journeys the train cannot do:
Give us your train’s arrival time rather than your ticket time and the car comes in as you reach the platform. The roads either side of the station are residential and there is nowhere useful to sit and wait.
Wallington has the most lopsided airport position of any town we cover, and the numbers are worth knowing before you book a flight.
Heathrow is more than twice the distance and more than twice the time. Wallington sits on the south-eastern side of London, so Gatwick is a straight run down the M23 while Heathrow means most of the way round the M25 through the junctions that queue worst. Seventy-five minutes is the longest airport run in our whole coverage area.
If your flight goes from either, Gatwick is not a close call from Wallington. If it has to be Heathrow, allow an hour and a half for a morning departure and book the car the day before.
A pre-booked car does four things a rank cannot:
All covered and all quoted before you travel. London City is the easy one from this side of town. Luton and Stansted mean the long way round, so the departure time matters far more than the mileage. Our Gatwick airport transfers page and airport transfers page have the detail.
We do not publish a price list, and the airport figures above show why. Gatwick is 16 miles and 32 minutes. Heathrow is 38 miles and 75. A per-mile rate would be wrong on one and misleading on both.
Four things set a fare, and only one of them is distance:
So the useful answer is a quote for your journey, given before you commit. Ring 0208 643 2255 or get a fixed price online.
Wallington has more history than its high street suggests, and two pieces of it come up in bookings.
Beddington Park runs to nearly a hundred acres of open grassland, formal gardens and a lake on the eastern edge of the town. It was originally the deer park attached to Carew Manor, a Tudor country house that is still standing. It is the local dog-walking and Sunday-afternoon ground, and it has several entrances a long way apart — name the one you want when you book rather than just saying the park.
And the lavender. Wallington was an important centre of lavender oil production until the First World War, which is why there is a lavender sculpture by Guy Portelli at the junction of Woodcote Road and Stafford Road. It is a useful landmark to give a driver, and a better one than most.
With a hundred acres of park on the doorstep, plenty of our Wallington passengers have a dog with them. We carry pets when the booking says so — tell us the size and whether the animal is crated or loose, and the right car and a driver who is happy about it turn up. Assistance dogs travel as of right. Muddy paws after Beddington Park are not a problem; just say so. See our pet-friendly taxis page.
Wallington has an unusual concentration of selective schools for a town of twenty thousand people. Wallington County Grammar School opened for boys in 1927 and Wallington High School for Girls dates from 1888 — two of the five grammar schools in the London Borough of Sutton, both in this town.
Selection means catchment does not apply, which means pupils travel in from a wide radius every morning — and Wallington children travel out to schools in Sutton, Cheam, Croydon and beyond. The result is a school run that is longer and more cross-town than the map suggests.
We run school taxis in Wallington as standing term-time bookings: same pickup, same time, named regular driver wherever the rota allows. For a child doing the same journey 190 mornings a year, a familiar driver counts for more than a marginally cheaper fare.
Drivers carrying children are licensed and DBS-checked. Child seats and boosters are provided when requested at the time of booking — tell us the age. Where a child travels unaccompanied we agree in advance exactly who hands over and who receives at each end, and nobody improvises at the gate. Our school run page sets out how the contracts work.
With two grammar schools drawing from the same wide area, shared contracts work particularly well here. Ask and we will see whether the route holds together.
We run wheelchair-accessible vehicles across Wallington, Beddington and Carshalton. A wheelchair taxi in Wallington has to be pre-booked rather than hailed — there are a limited number of accessible vehicles on the road at any hour, and booking ahead is what guarantees one arrives.
Whether the chair folds and the passenger transfers into a seat, or whether it travels occupied with the passenger strapped in — these are different vehicles. Tell us about steps, kerbs, lifts and block entrances at both ends too. Our wheelchair-accessible minicab page sets out the vehicles and the driver training.
St Helier at Carshalton is the nearest and the most frequent; Croydon University Hospital, the Royal Marsden at Belmont, Epsom General and St George’s at Tooting are all straightforward runs. The return leg is what people get wrong: book the outbound to a firm time and leave the return open, ringing 0208 643 2255 when you are actually finished rather than guessing a discharge time. For a course of treatment we can set up a standing booking with the same driver wherever the rota allows. Our medical appointment transport page covers how these work.
Wallington sits between Sutton and Croydon, two of the larger office centres in south London, with eight trains an hour into town. A good share of its residents travel for work. We run corporate taxi accounts across the town.
Staff book without handling money, every journey is itemised, and you get one monthly invoice with cost codes or departments attached. For most firms the saving is in the expense paperwork rather than the fare.
For a client run into the City or Canary Wharf, or a Gatwick collection where the first impression matters, an executive car is the difference between transport and hospitality. We also run a same-day courier service across Surrey and south London for documents and samples that will not wait for a carrier.
Checked on Google Maps on 26 September 2026 for a clear road. A planning guide, not a promise. When you book we will give you a pickup time that allows for the actual day.
| From Wallington to | Distance | Typical clear-road time | Usual route |

| Croydon | 4.2 miles | about 17 minutes | A232 |
Heathrow is 2.3 times the distance of Gatwick and 2.3 times the time. It is the widest airport gap of any town in our coverage, and the seventy-five minutes is the longest single airport run we quote.

Different words, one number: 0208 643 2255. A taxi service in Wallington, a local taxi, a Wallington taxi number, an airport run, a school contract or a wheelchair booking all go through the same office and the same controllers.
5 Carshalton Road, Sutton, SM1 4LE — about two miles up the A232, not a call centre in another city. Controllers who know that Carshalton and Carshalton Beeches are different stations, which end of Woodcote Road you mean, and that Beddington Park has more than one gate.
Clocktower Cars is a licensed private hire operator. Every car is a licensed private hire vehicle, every driver is a licensed private hire driver, and every journey is pre-booked through the office — which is what makes the journey insured. If something goes wrong there is an office to ring and a record of the booking.
Ask and you will have a fixed quote before the car is booked. No meter running on the A232, and no surge pricing when it rains.
Card in the car, card online, or on account. Say which when you book so the driver is set up for it.
0208 643 2255, our Sutton office at 5 Carshalton Road, two miles up the A232, answered twenty-four hours a day by a person. 01372 747 747 is the Epsom head office.
Wallington, SM6, in the London Borough of Sutton, between Sutton and Croydon. We do not cover Wellington in Somerset, Wellington in Shropshire or Wellington in New Zealand. If you are booking from outside the area, quote the SM6 postcode and there is no room for confusion.
Yes. The office is staffed around the clock and cars run through the night. The honest caveat is that a pre-booked car at four in the morning is guaranteed and an on-demand one is not, because fewer drivers are on at that hour. Early flights and late returns should always be booked ahead.
About 32 minutes for 16.4 miles on the M23 with a clear road. Allow more at commuter times, and for a flight we build a margin into the pickup time.
About an hour and a quarter for 37.9 miles on the M25 — more than twice the distance and more than twice the time of Gatwick, because Wallington is on the wrong side of London for it. Allow an hour and a half for a morning departure.
Southern, on the Sutton and Mole Valley lines, in London fare zone 5, between Waddon and Carshalton Beeches. Off-peak that is two trains an hour to each of London Bridge (non-stop from Norwood Junction), London Victoria via Norbury, Epsom and Epsom Downs, with a half-hourly Sutton service added at peak times.
Yes, with notice. Tell us whether the chair folds and the passenger transfers or whether it travels occupied, and tell us about steps, lifts or block entrances at either end.
Yes, when the booking says so. Tell us the size and whether the dog is crated or loose. Assistance dogs travel as of right. Muddy paws after Beddington Park are not a problem.
Yes, as standing term-time bookings with the same driver wherever the rota allows. Drivers carrying children are licensed and DBS-checked, and child seats are provided when requested at the time of booking. Shared contracts work well here, because the grammar schools draw pupils from a wide area in the same direction.
It depends on the route, the time of day, the vehicle and any waiting — which is why we quote for your actual journey rather than publish a table. Call or get a fixed quote online and you will have a price before you commit.
In everyday speech, nothing. In licensing terms a hackney carriage can be hailed in the street or taken from a rank, while a private hire vehicle, which is what a minicab is, must be booked in advance through a licensed operator. Clocktower Cars is a private hire operator, so every journey is pre-booked through the office — which is why we cannot be flagged down, and why every journey has a record and a clear insurance position behind it. More on our minicab versus black cab page.
Yes, along with Hackbridge, Belmont, Cheam, North Cheam, Woodcote, Little Woodcote, Roundshaw and Waddon. Several have pages of their own — Beddington, Carshalton and Hackbridge.
