Street and Local Destination Context
Oxford Street stretches between the Marble Arch and Tottenham Court Road sides of the West End. Visit London's guide distinguishes Oxford Circus for the central shops, Bond Street for the western shopping area and Tottenham Court Road for the eastern end.
A Useful Collection Plan
Decide which shop is the last stop before requesting a cab. Someone leaving a western-end department store should not use an eastern-end station as shorthand for the collection. If shopping continues into Soho or Regent Street, update the return address to the place where the group actually finishes.
Shopping Bags and Onward Journeys
For a Oxford Street taxi or minicab enquiry, describe the bags and purchases that will travel with the party. A shopping trip can finish with more luggage than it began with; ask the operator to confirm capacity after the final requirements are known.
If the next leg is an airport transfer, include the terminal and flight details as well as the actual London collection address. Keep a shop appointment or restaurant reservation separate from the time when everyone expects to be ready at the agreed cab meeting point.
