Welcome to Colchester


Welcome to Colchester ‘Britain’s Oldest City'.


Home of 16 Air Assault Brigade of the British Army, of whom we are very proud for their dedication and hard work to keep us all safe. Also some very successful business and academic minds have come out of the University of Essex, which is just 2 miles from the town centre.


Just to the south of the town we have an amazing and award winning Colchester Zoo. A little further along the road we have Wilkin and Sons jam factory who’s goods (made from local fruit) are transported all over the world.


In the town itself, we have a superb Norman Castle, Roman walls, coffee shops, theatres and cinemas.


Colchester is home to the 'Firstsite' visual arts centre, for more information about Colchester you can VisitColchester.

From the Chairman


Welcome to Colchester and our fleet of some 130 Hackney Carriages who are all fully licensed by the local authority and where all our drivers must undertake an ‘enhanced CRB’ check every 3 years.


The drivers will only be too pleased to drive you to your destination in a professional and courteous manner.


There are taxi ranks at the mainline Colchester Station and in the town centre on High Street and Head Street.
