Lewisham
Lewisham, Deptford and Catford: specify where the car needs to go
Lewisham station and the town centre are busy with bus and rail connections. If you are arriving by train, give the time and stay contactable to agree the side for collection. For a hotel or residential building near the station, use the property’s own postcode.
Deptford is closer to the Thames and Greenwich, while Catford lies further south. A transfer to Lewisham from the same airport may follow different roads depending on which part of the borough you are travelling to. The price is therefore calculated for the selected addresses rather than a single notional centre of the borough.
Blackheath and its surrounding residential streets need an exact address, particularly for a house on a quiet street away from the main roads. Private hire in Lewisham is convenient for a family travelling with luggage: the car takes you from the terminal to the door without a connection to local transport.

Journey planning
Choose Lewisham Station or the specific residential address
Use the actual home address if you are travelling to another part of the borough, rather than selecting the station as a general landmark. This distinction is particularly useful with substantial luggage. For a station or airport journey, give the departure time; for a private address, provide the building number, postcode and any instructions for entering the development.
For a station collection, give the train details and agree the side of the street. The transport hub has several approaches.
Addresses nearer the river have a different route from Catford in the south of the borough.
Use the full postcode for a home address, particularly on quiet streets away from the main roads.
Select an address from the form’s suggestions and check that Lewisham and the postcode match your destination.
