Box Hill is one of the busiest spots near Dorking on a sunny weekend — and the car park fills up long before lunchtime. If you’re heading up for a walk, a picnic, or the view from the Salomons Memorial, skipping the drive altogether solves the problem before it starts.

A taxi drops you right at the top, no circling for a space, no walk-up from an overflow field a mile away. It’s an easy option for family days out, or for visitors staying locally who don’t have a car with them at all.

Worth knowing: weekends and bank holidays get busy for taxis too, for the same reason the car park does — so booking your return pickup in advance is the one thing worth doing ahead of time.
