Old Street Rail Connections and Local Context
Old Street mainline station is published by National Rail at Old Street station, Old Street, London, EC1Y 1BE. The station guide identifies London Underground as the station manager. Its rail code is OLD. These details identify the rail destination; they do not identify a legal roadside stopping place or confirm a particular vehicle’s availability.
Old Street has a National Rail record as well as its familiar Underground identity. National Rail publishes an Old Street address with postcode EC1Y 1BE. For a collection, describe the arriving rail or Underground service and an agreed street-level meeting reference instead of assuming that every exit leads to the same place.
For a connection with the Underground, TfL separately identifies Old Street Underground Station, with Northern line services. That published transport reference helps you distinguish the arriving service from the road collection itself. Check current service and access information before choosing a rail alternative; it does not establish a taxi rank or a suitable car meeting point.
Old Street and Hoxton Hall
Hoxton Hall is a historic performance and community venue at 130 Hoxton Street, N1 6SH; its official guide identifies Old Street Underground as a connection.
A performance or workshop there is a separate destination after leaving the station. Retain the full Hoxton Hall name rather than shortening the request to the wider Hoxton nightlife area, and agree a realistic readiness time after the activity. If the evening continues to another restaurant or venue, update the return cab to that actual endpoint instead of retaining the earlier Hall address.
Planning a Taxi or Minicab Collection
Tell your operator whether your arrival is on National Rail or the Underground and confirm a road-level meeting point. A restaurant, workplace or hotel around Old Street needs its own address. If you plan to walk somewhere after your train arrives, update the pickup accordingly; the station address should not remain in the request once the intended meeting place has changed.
Give the operator your train arrival information, passenger count and luggage before discussing a suitable car. Confirm how you will contact one another after leaving the platform. If the planned cab meeting point changes, update the address explicitly rather than assuming the operator can infer your new position from the original rail request.
Airport Transfers from Old Street
For an airport-transfer enquiry, pair Old Street Station with the exact airport and terminal, date and London-time pickup. Include the onward flight details when relevant, and ask for the full proposed price and waiting arrangements before accepting a booking. A train arrival time is not automatically a ready-to-leave time: allow for reaching the agreed car meeting place with everybody’s bags.
