Private hire to and from Royal Marsden Sutton

Find the right entrance

Main hospital or Oak Cancer Centre?

The Royal Marsden’s Sutton hospital is listed on Downs Road, Sutton SM2 5PT. The Oak Cancer Centre’s ground-level main entrance and patient drop-off approach are from Cotswold Road. These are different approaches: tell the office which building and entrance your visit instructions name.

Do not rely on one site-wide postcode to choose the road. The Oak Cancer Centre connects internally to the existing hospital, but that does not mean a driver can enter or escort you between departments. Confirm any access changes with the hospital.

The journey home

When your finish time is uncertain

Choose the collection point where you will actually leave. An arrival on Downs Road does not establish a Cotswold Road collection, or the reverse; ask the office to agree any change.

You can contact us when you are ready, subject to an available car; book a paid wait-and-return with the driver waiting outside; or arrange a separate return around an approximate time. If you are delayed for a separate return, contact the office: applicable waiting or changes can affect the cost. The office can help you compare the choices.

A booked wait-and-return is paid waiting from the start. Waiting after a separate return pickup may also be charged under the applicable pickup policy. Ask the office for the current rate, any applicable allowance and when charging starts before booking.

Travel with the right support

Companions, equipment and assistance

Enquiries are welcome for journeys anywhere, including outside London. Our office can check availability; advance booking gives us more time to make arrangements, while short-notice journeys depend on an available car.

We can carry folding wheelchairs, but currently have no wheelchair-accessible vehicles. Tell the office the folded dimensions, other luggage, boarding needs and any assistance you need so we can confirm a suitable arrangement before booking.

Guiding you to the car and loading ordinary bags or a folding wheelchair is free. Tell the office beforehand so we can arrange a driver able to help. Required disability assistance remains available in line with applicable duties. An additional escort to or inside a building depends on the task and may carry a charge; agree the scope and any fee with the office before booking.

Other ways to travel

Compare the whole journey

Sutton and Belmont are rail approaches to the hospital, each involving a final local leg to the appropriate building. Check a current journey planner, walking access and any onward bus when deciding which route works for you.

Hospital-arranged patient transport is separate, with its own assessment and booking process. Ask the hospital transport team if that is what you need; KB Cars offers ordinary private-hire journeys, not NHS patient transport.
