Esher is a busy town on the old Portsmouth Road, known for its restaurants, Sandown Park Racecourse and the National Trust's Claremont Landscape Garden. Our Esher taxi service covers the High Street, the residential roads around it and journeys to the station, the racecourse and London's airports.
Race days and events at Sandown Park
Sandown Park hosts horse racing through the year, as well as other events. On race days the roads around the course and the station get busy, so we recommend booking early and agreeing a collection time and place in advance. For a group going racing together, our 7 seater taxi is a simple way to arrive and leave together, with one fixed fare for everyone.
Dining and nights out on the High Street
Esher High Street and the surrounding roads have a wide choice of restaurants and bars. We take people there from across the area, including Weston Green, Claygate and Hinchley Wood, and bring them home again. Tell us your expected finish time and we will be ready. If the evening runs late, call the office and we will adjust.
Claremont and Esher Common
Claremont Landscape Garden, just south of the town, is a popular day out, and Esher Common offers walks on the edge of town. We can drop you at the entrance and collect you later. If the dog is coming too, see our pet friendly taxi service and mention it when booking.

The Portsmouth Road and Esher Green
Esher grew up along the old Portsmouth Road, the A307, which still runs through the High Street. Around Esher Green and the church at the northern end of the town, the roads narrow and parking is limited, so we will agree a pickup spot that avoids blocking traffic. Drivers coming from Thames Ditton usually use the Portsmouth Road through Giggs Hill and Weston Green, which is typically about ten minutes. For trips further south, the A3 Esher bypass runs just outside the town and gives quick access to Cobham, Guildford and the M25. That makes Esher a good starting point for runs to Gatwick and the south coast as well as to London.
