Getting Around Golders Green
Golders Green is a district of north-west London in the London Borough of Barnet, next to the Heath Extension of Hampstead Heath. The area grew quickly after its Underground station opened in 1907. The station is in fare zone 3 and is the first stop in the open air on the Northern line's Edgware branch. Add the train and its arrival time to the booking, and the car is scheduled for that arrival.
On the station forecourt, the bus station is a major hub for buses in north London, and National Express coaches also call there. Golders Green Road is the busy shopping street. In the 2021 Census, 49.9% of residents identified as Jewish, and the kosher shops cluster west of Hoop Lane. Golders Hill Park, with a small zoo and a walled garden, borders the West Heath.
For a house in Hampstead Garden Suburb, just to the east, send the full address with your booking; the confirmation then tells you where the car will stop. If relatives want to see several households in Golders Green, Hendon and the Suburb in one afternoon, book by the hour: one chauffeur and one vehicle stay with you for the time you reserve.

Book with your flight number. For an arrival, your chauffeur checks the flight status and times the pick-up to when you actually land, and your booking confirmation shows where to meet the chauffeur. For a departure from Golders Green, what counts is the length of the drive, not the time on the clock: the run to Gatwick crosses the whole of London from north to south, so give it a wide margin before a morning flight. Journey times vary with traffic and weather. You set the pick-up time yourself, and the confirmation shows it.

Groups & Event Travel in Golders Green
Family occasions in Golders Green can bring relatives from abroad and from other parts of the UK in the same week, and services at Golders Green Crematorium, open since 1902, can gather a family from many places at once. When you book for other people, all their transfers can be kept in one account, each with its own booking and confirmation. If relatives land on several flights, every arrival gets a transfer of its own.
For a family going to a synagogue hall or a reception together, a Sprinter van carries up to 12 people with their bags, and bigger groups go by coach, with up to 56 seats; the vehicle is matched to the load, wheelchairs and pushchairs included when you list them.
Local vehicles and drivers are booked up early in the school holidays and over Christmas and the New Year. If your plans go beyond a standard booking, write to support with the dates, addresses, number of passengers, flights and luggage, and the team will arrange it.
