Taxi Service in Caversham
Caversham is a village-like riverside suburb north of the Thames, with independent cafes and restaurants and a high street running along Church Street and Prospect Street, plus the St Martin’s precinct. Reading Taxis serves it every day, with local journeys that fit how people here actually travel:
- Short trips to Reading Station and Reading town centre, including a night out on Friar Street or Broad Street and a ride home afterwards
- Appointments at Royal Berkshire Hospital and trips to The Oracle
- Early-morning and late-night pick-ups, because we take bookings 24 hours a day
- Airport transfers to Heathrow, Gatwick, Luton and Stansted
- Group and luggage journeys in an MPV or a 6, 7 or 8-seater minibus
Pre-booking matters here. Reading Borough Council says it is illegal for private hire drivers to pick up passengers from the street or a taxi rank, that private hire journeys must be pre-booked, and that passengers are not covered by insurance on unbooked journeys (Reading Borough Council, May 2026). Book with Reading Taxis first and your pick-up is arranged properly.
Taxi Caversham to Reading Station and Town Centre
The Thames is the only thing between Caversham and the centre of Reading, and it is crossed by two bridges. Caversham Bridge and Reading Bridge both link Caversham to central Reading, and we choose the one that suits your pick-up point and destination. The main roads you will meet are the A4155 and Peppard Road. Allow a little extra time on a weekday morning or when events are on in town, and book ahead if you have a train to catch.
