Taxi in Burnham.
One call. Fixed price.

Burnham is a small village with an awkward road layout. The A4 (Bath Road) runs along its southern edge, Lent Rise Road and Burnham Lane feed traffic up from the south, and the High Street and Church Street meet in a compact centre with little room to turn. Burnham station isn't in the village at all. It's more than a mile south, past the A4, so a driver who only knows the postcode can end up at the wrong end of Burnham entirely. Ours know which side of the A4 you're on before they set off, and at peak times they avoid the Bath Road queues around the M4 spur at Huntercombe. On a bad afternoon, that's the difference between a 10-minute pickup and a 25-minute one.

Most Burnham bookings fall into one of two patterns. The first is Heathrow: Burnham to Heathrow Terminal 5 is a straight run down the A4 and onto the M4, usually 15 to 20 minutes outside rush hour, longer once the Slough traffic backs up after 4pm. The second is local — the school run down to Burnham Grammar, a trip into Slough for the shops or the train, or a pickup from Burnham station itself for anyone whose connecting train has just been cancelled.

Burnham station is served by Elizabeth line and GWR stopping trains, but it has fewer services than Slough or Maidenhead, so a single cancellation leaves more people needing a taxi. We treat the station as a standing pickup point, not an address you have to explain — tell us Burnham station and a driver knows the layout, including which side the taxi rank isn't quite big enough for on a Friday evening.

Further out, we cover Burnham Beeches, the ancient woodland owned and managed by the City of London Corporation, which brings visitors and dog walkers who often don't drive out this far themselves, and the housing towards East Burnham on the village's northern edge. If you're coming from the Beeches car park after dark with no signal to call ahead, we still take addresses like "the Beeches car park on Lord Mayor's Drive" without trouble.

Lent Rise, on the southern edge of the village, is mostly a residential run for us — regular bookings to and from the shops on Lent Rise Road, and the odd late pickup from the recreation ground when an evening match finishes later than planned. Cippenham, technically part of Slough but closer to Burnham than to Slough town centre for most of its streets, is another area where knowing the ground matters: Cippenham Lane floods in heavy rain at the point nearest the railway bridge, and a driver who doesn't know that will try to push through standing water rather than taking the short diversion via Farnham Road.

Boveney, down by the Thames towards Dorney, is quieter again — rowing club traffic on race weekends, and a scattering of houses that don't always show up cleanly on satnav. We take bookings there by describing the turning off the B3026 rather than relying on a postcode pin that occasionally drops you two fields away. If you're booking from a phone with poor signal in that stretch, calling ahead to confirm the pickup point saves everyone time.

Fares from Burnham are straightforward: local hops into Slough or over to Taplow station are among our lowest, Windsor and Maidenhead a little more depending on the exact pickup point, and the Heathrow run is a fixed price regardless of which terminal, confirmed exactly when you book so there's no argument about the fare at the other end.

If you only need a number to ring, our Burnham taxi number page puts the 24-hour bookings line at the top and lists the pickup points drivers know by name. For the full Burnham taxi service (vehicle sizes, school and account travel, and every airport we run to), see that page instead.
