About us

Burnt Oak's local minicab firm, since 2005

We're Watling Radio Cars, though everyone calls us Watling Cars. You'll find us on Watling Avenue, right next to Burnt Oak station.

The Watling Cars office on Watling Avenue in Burnt Oak

A neighbourhood minicab firm that grew up with the neighbourhood

Watling Cars has been looking after Burnt Oak, Edgware and the rest of North West London since 2005. In that time we've taken people to first days at work, hospital appointments, weddings, late-night flights and everything in between.

These days you can book us on the app, online or by phone, and we cover every London airport. But the basics haven't changed: turn up on time, charge a fair price, and be good to people.

Plenty of our customers have been riding with us for years, and some of our drivers have become friends with the people they drive. We think that says more than any advert could.
