Canterbury airport taxi
Canterbury sits at the centre of east Kent, and a pre-booked car is the practical option for an early flight from any London airport, because the first trains of the day do not connect well with early check-ins. Pickups cover the city itself and the surrounding villages, from Chartham and Bridge to Sturry and Littlebourne, and the universities during term-time changeovers.
