Taxi Service in Aldermaston
Aldermaston is a canal-side village in West Berkshire (postcode RG7) whose character is shaped by the Kennet & Avon Canal, the marina at Aldermaston Wharf, St Mary’s Church and Aldermaston Court. Day to day, it is also tied to two big local names: AWE Aldermaston, the village’s main employer, and the nearby Wasing Estate. The Street has the village shop, and Aldermaston CE Primary is the local school.
Public transport is limited, and Aldermaston has no taxi rank, so most journeys are pre-booked. Reading Taxis covers all of it:
- Local taxis around Aldermaston, Aldermaston Wharf, Padworth, Woolhampton and Tadley
- Station transfers to and from Aldermaston station, and on to Reading
- Airport transfers to Heathrow, Gatwick, Luton and Stansted
- Business travel including AWE and nearby business parks
- Weddings and events at venues such as The Hind’s Head and Wasing Park
- Groups in 6, 7 and 8-seater minibuses, plus executive cars and MPVs
One thing causes regular confusion: Aldermaston village, Aldermaston Wharf and Aldermaston station are not the same place. The station sits at the Wharf, around two miles from the village centre. When you book, tell us which one you mean and we will confirm the exact pickup point.

How do I know my Aldermaston taxi is licensed?
