Leicester Square: Location and Local Orientation
Leicester Square Underground station is recorded by TfL at Leicester Square Station, Cranbourn St, London, WC2H 0AP. Use Cranbourn St and postcode WC2H 0AP to anchor your taxi or cab enquiry rather than a broad neighbourhood name. Its Underground fare-zone reference is 1; a Tube fare zone does not set the price of a taxi or minicab.
The closest other Underground station positions in this directory are Covent Garden (0.34 km), Piccadilly Circus (0.40 km), and Charing Cross (0.45 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 Westminster local-authority area (St James's ward). These postcode boundaries are administrative references; use your actual street destination when arranging a minicab.
Named Places Around Leicester Square
Named green-space landmarks around Leicester Square include St Anne's Church (religious grounds, approximately 0.26 km to the mapped boundary); The Convent Garden (public park or garden, approximately 0.27 km to the mapped boundary); St Giles-in-the-Fields Church (religious grounds, approximately 0.37 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 St Anne's Church, 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.

Leicester Square and Trafalgar Square Visits
City Hall includes Leicester Square among the nearby Tube approaches to Trafalgar Square. An attraction or theatre collection still needs its own address. Give the venue and intended exit when planning a minicab rather than assuming the Underground station is the meeting point for every West End visit.

Check current branches, stopping patterns and planned work with TfL before choosing an onward Tube connection or cab.
Luggage, Access and Your Minicab Meeting Point
The station’s captured TfL facilities reference includes escalator facilities listed. Check current access with TfL if stairs or the final walk affect your journey: these are dated facilities references, and a facility listing alone does not establish a complete step-free route.
For a minicab at Leicester Square, 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 Leicester Square
Leicester Square is on the Piccadilly network, whose TfL route map includes Heathrow branches as well as other destinations. That makes terminal and branch selection important if you compare Tube travel with an airport taxi. For a cab request instead, provide the exact airport, terminal, flight details and whether this is a collection or departure journey; do not infer a car fare from a Tube route.
