East Ham: Location and Local Orientation
East Ham Underground station is recorded by TfL at East Ham Station, High Street North, London, E6 2JA. Use High Street North and postcode E6 2JA to anchor your taxi or cab enquiry rather than a broad neighbourhood name. Its Underground fare-zone reference is 3 / 4; a Tube fare zone does not set the price of a taxi or minicab.
The closest other Underground station positions in this directory are Upton Park (1.17 km), Barking (2.07 km), and Plaistow (2.48 km). Those figures are straight-line distances calculated from TfL coordinates, not walking routes, station interchanges or journey-time estimates.
The published station postcode falls in the Newham local-authority area (East Ham ward). These postcode boundaries are administrative references; use your actual street destination when arranging a minicab.
Named Places Around East Ham
Named green-space landmarks around East Ham include Plashet Park (public park or garden, approximately 0.25 km to the mapped boundary); Plashet Jewish Cemetery (cemetery, approximately 0.53 km to the mapped boundary); St Barnabas' Church (religious grounds, approximately 0.58 km to the mapped boundary). These are straight-line distances derived from the TfL station position and Ordnance Survey’s April 2026 mapped site polygons. A boundary can be much closer than a usable entrance: these figures do not describe walking routes, road access or a place for a driver to wait.
If your journey ends at Plashet Park, give its own entrance or street address when booking. A taxi booking for the Underground station identifies a different destination from the surrounding park, grounds or sports site. Confirm visitor arrangements with the site before travelling.

Luggage, Access and Your Minicab Meeting Point
Use the current TfL station guide to check the access route that suits your party. This station’s captured record does not provide a sufficiently clear facility summary to infer a complete step-free route. Avoid treating a map pin as proof that a car can reach the exact entrance you will use.
For a minicab at East Ham, give your actual entrance or nearby address, arrival line and luggage count. Agree a permitted road meeting place; the station address and photograph are location references, not waiting instructions.
Airport Taxi Planning from East Ham
For an airport cab from East Ham, start with the station collection address and the airport terminal, rather than only “London airport”. King's Cross St. Pancras is an example of a Piccadilly-line interchange shared with the Hammersmith & City network; use TfL’s planner to compare that rail option on the day. A dispatcher must separately confirm the road journey, price, vehicle and any airport charges.
