Old Street: Location and Local Orientation
Old Street Underground station is recorded by TfL at Old Street Station, Old St, London, EC1Y 1BE. Use Old St and postcode EC1Y 1BE 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 Moorgate (0.86 km), Barbican (0.94 km), and Liverpool Street (1.00 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 Islington local-authority area (Bunhill ward). These postcode boundaries are administrative references; use your actual street destination when arranging a minicab.
Named Places Around Old Street
Named green-space landmarks around Old Street include Bunhill Fields Burial Ground (cemetery, approximately 0.18 km to the mapped boundary); Wesley's Chapel (religious grounds, approximately 0.23 km to the mapped boundary); Quaker Garden (public park or garden, approximately 0.30 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 Bunhill Fields Burial Ground, 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
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 Old Street, 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 Old Street
For an airport cab from Old Street, 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 Northern 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.
