There's not one particularly close to the store, but I'd recommend Global Car Service as a good local one. Their number is (020) 8803 6878 and they're based near Edmonton Green. Thanks Barry, IIRC you live in the area, don't you? Now the next problem is if they'll be able to carry a 122cm x 76cm flat pack back to my new flat in Harringay..... -- Phil Richards London, UK Home Page: http://www.philrichards1.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk |

I know nothing about the Edmonton area, however, I wish to recount my
tale of woe about my visit to Ikea Brent Park. I bought a flat-pack chair, then, with a friend, needed a cab to go home 4 miles. IKEA quoted me £25 for their service. "Stuff that for a lark!" thought friend and I. We put pack on Ikea trolley as far as edge of car park, lifted it over wall to adjoining Tesco, where we borrowed another trolley. We used the Tesco freefone to a local cab firm. The journey cost us £8. Ikea's taxi service is a ******* rip-off! I think there's a part of the TfL site that lists registered minicab firms by London Borough and I suggest you use that. -- Helen D. Vecht: Edgware. |

I must say, as someone who's lugged really heavy IKEA furniture from Neasden to Ruislip on more than one occasion, using a bus, a tube, and a burly passer-by, that there's no real need for expensive taxis. -- Cliff Laine, The Old Lard Factory, Lancaster http://www.loobynet.com * remove any trace of rudeness before you reply * ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using words well is a social virtue.

... Does anyone know of a Taxi/Mini Cab firm in Edmonton near to the Ikea store? Black cabs can be ordered anywhere in London by phoning 0 871 871 871 0.

That's why my vehicle's the Piccadilly Line - It's the size of a county and it comes every two and a half minutes |

The journey cost us £8. Funnily enough there is a Tesco next door to the Edmonton Ikea, I would guess they have a freefone to a local cab firm like most supermarkets. Ikea's taxi service is a ******* rip-off! Thanks for the warning. No mention of a taxi service on their website. I think there's a part of the TfL site that lists registered minicab firms by London Borough and I suggest you use that. I must admit I'm not keen on the search option. Whilst it does list the licensed operators only, not giving addresses or postcodes doesn't help. For some odd reason it lists phone numbers which often duplicate. When you want to search by specific area you need to cross check against something like a copy of the Yellow Pages or search directory on-line as some of the boroughs are huge. My partner was returning back from Stansted Airport to Tottenham Hale by rail replacement bus last night. I even tried calling TfL for help in finding a mini cab firm located at or near Tottenham Hale only to find the call centre operator searching through an equivalent database laid out not much better. Although it did give out random addresses, his geographic knowledge wasn't too good coming out with Muswell Hill being a suitable one! -- Phil Richards London, UK Home Page: http://www.philrichards1.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk |

Thanks Barry, IIRC you live in the area, don't you? Yup. Up near North Middlesex Hospital. Where I first popped out into this world! ;-) I can't see that being a problem, just make it clear that you've got a flat pack when you call so they can allocate a suitable vehicle. You can also drop them an e-mail at globalcarcourier (at) btconnect.com. Thanks Barry! -- Phil Richards London, UK Home Page: http://www.philrichards1.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk |

At Brent Park, I think there was some sort of taxi desk close to the check-out or collection area.

Sorry to hear this was less than useful. Will you be going to your own home address after your Ikea adventure? If so, some of your local minicab firms might be helpful. Several minicab firms have fairly wide London coverage anyway. -- Helen D. Vecht: Edgware. |

Helen Deborah Vecht ) gurgled happily, sounding
much like they were saying : I must say, as someone who's lugged really heavy IKEA furniture from Neasden to Ruislip on more than one occasion, using a bus, a tube, and a burly passer-by, that there's no real need for expensive taxis. Try it with Multiple Sclerosis. Next! They were out of stock last time I went to Brent Park. |
