Taxi Service in Theale
Nationwide Cars runs a 24/7 taxi service from Theale, covering airport transfers, local journeys and station runs. Theale sits right beside Junction 12 of the M4, about 5 miles south-west of Reading in the RG7 postcode area, so the motorway to Heathrow and the other airports starts at the edge of the village.
The village is bounded by the Kennet & Avon Canal, and its Sheffield Bridge Conservation Area, with the canal swing bridge, lock and mill, is one of Theale’s best-known corners. Holy Trinity Church and the historic buildings along the High Street give the centre its character, and Theale station has stood in the village on the Berks and Hants line since it opened in December 1847.
