From the Isle of Sheppey, almost any train journey starts with the branch line to Sittingbourne, then a train into London, and often a trip across London to another terminal. With bags, children or a group, that's a lot of changes.
A long-distance taxi takes you from your door to the address you need in one go. It's popular for university moves, football and concerts, hospital appointments, family visits, cruises and business meetings.
Every journey time on this page is measured by road from Sheerness. Pickups elsewhere on Sheppey are usually within 10 minutes of these times.
