Private hire to and from St George’s Hospital, Tooting

Find your entrance

Plan your arrival at St George’s

The main hospital entrance is on Blackshaw Road in Tooting; the hospital also identifies vehicle access from Fountain Road. Your department may be nearer another entrance, so use the building and entrance in your appointment instructions rather than asking for anywhere at St George’s.

Tell the office your arrival point and any access instructions without sending your appointment letter or medical details. Vehicle access does not mean a driver can wait at an entrance or use a reserved bay. If the proposed meeting point is unsuitable, discuss a safe, practical alternative with the office.

Your journey home

When you don’t know your finish time

Choose the return arrangement that suits your appointment. The office can help compare the options:

• Contact us once you are ready to travel. A car is subject to availability, so immediate collection is not guaranteed. • Book a paid wait-and-return, with the driver waiting outside. Waiting is paid from the start. • Book a separate return around an approximate time. Contact the office if you are delayed; applicable waiting or changes can affect the cost.

For paid waiting or a separate return, ask the office for the current rate, any applicable pickup allowance and when charging starts. A separate return does not automatically retain your outward driver. If you leave from a different wing, agree the collection point with the office rather than assuming the outward entrance will work.

Travel with the right support

Companions, equipment and assistance

We welcome enquiries for journeys anywhere, including outside London. Advance booking gives the office more time to make arrangements, but short-notice enquiries are welcome and depend on an available car.

We can carry folding wheelchairs, but do not currently have wheelchair-accessible vehicles for travel seated in a wheelchair. Tell the office the folded dimensions, other luggage, boarding needs and any assistance you need so we can confirm a suitable vehicle.

Guidance to the car and loading ordinary bags or a folding wheelchair are free when arranged with the office beforehand, so a driver able to help can be assigned. Tell us about any assistance you need; advance notice is not a condition that removes required disability assistance. Optional escort to or inside a building depends on the task and may be free or carry an agreed charge. Discuss the scope and any fee with the office.

Other ways to travel

Compare your options

Tooting Broadway on the Northern line offers an Underground approach followed by a walk. The 493 and G1 buses also serve the hospital grounds. Consider the distance and accessibility to the building you need.

For hospital-arranged patient transport, ask the hospital team about its own process. A private-hire enquiry with KB Cars neither establishes eligibility nor books that service.
