West Molesey is a mainly residential area between East Molesey and Walton-on-Thames, bordered by the Thames at Hurst Park and by the large Island Barn Reservoir. Our West Molesey taxi service helps residents reach stations, shops and appointments that are not always easy by bus, and provides fixed-fare cars to every London airport.
Getting around without a station
West Molesey has no railway station. The nearest are Hampton Court in East Molesey and Walton-on-Thames, and across the river there is Hampton. Bus routes cover the main roads, but for early trains, heavy luggage or trips at night, a taxi is often the quickest way to connect. We regularly take West Molesey residents to Walton-on-Thames for its fast trains to Waterloo.
Hurst Park and the river
Hurst Park, on the site of an old racecourse, runs along the Thames and is popular with walkers, families and dog owners. A seasonal foot ferry across the river links it with Hampton. We can drop you at the park and collect you later, and if your dog is coming along, see our pet friendly taxi page. Tell us about your pet when you book.
Island Barn Reservoir
Island Barn Reservoir is home to a sailing club, and members and visitors often need transport, sometimes with kit. Let us know what you are carrying so we can send an estate or larger vehicle.

Getting to Molesey Heath and the Ember Farm area
The southern side of West Molesey, around Molesey Heath and the roads towards the Ember and Mole rivers, is quieter and further from bus routes than the Walton Road corridor. Older residents and families without a second car here often rely on taxis for supermarket trips, GP visits and getting to the station. Our drivers know these streets and the quickest ways out onto the main roads. If you have mobility needs, tell us when you book: drivers can help with shopping and folding wheelchairs, and we can send an estate or MPV if you need more room. For a weekly shop, you can book a return journey with a set collection time, so you do not have to call again once you have finished.
