Our History

Sadler's Taxis is one of the oldest family-run businesses in the Epping Forest District area, established around 1869/1870 by Mr William Sadler. Our taxis have provided the area with a first-class, safe, and affordable service from the early horse-drawn hackneys to the areas first petrol engine taxi driven in the 1920s by Mr F.P Sadler (grandfather to Phil & Peter Sadler, two of the current directors).

Upon leaving the army after the Second World War, Mr F P Sadler junior, known as Phil, took over control of the firm and, with his brother John, expanded the business with London black taxis licensed by the carriage office. Together they began to build a modern, reliable taxi service from their taxi rank at Loughton Station. Telephone calls were taken at Phil's house, and jobs were dispatched by an early Pye two-way radio system.

By the 1970s, Sadler's Taxis moved into the old bus canteen at Loughton Station. The introduction of private hire cars proved to be very popular with the public. In 1983, Phil & Peter Sadler took over upon the retirement of their father (Phil) and carried on with the same values, continuing to expand the business using the latest technology available.
