Queensway: Location and Local Orientation
Queensway Underground station is recorded by TfL at Queensway Station, Bayswater Rd, London, W2 4SS. Use Bayswater Rd and postcode W2 4SS 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 Bayswater (0.23 km), Notting Hill Gate (0.63 km), and Lancaster Gate (0.82 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 (Lancaster Gate ward). These postcode boundaries are administrative references; use your actual street destination when arranging a minicab.
Named Places Around Queensway
Named green-space landmarks around Queensway include Kensington Gardens (public park or garden, approximately 0.02 km to the mapped boundary); The Diana Princess of Wales Memorial Playground (play space, approximately 0.09 km to the mapped boundary); Ladbroke Square Gardens (public park or garden, approximately 0.90 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 Kensington Gardens, 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.

Queensway and the Kensington Gardens Approach
Historic Royal Palaces describes Queensway as an approach to Kensington Palace through Kensington Gardens. For a taxi, distinguish Queensway station, an address on the street and the palace visitor entrance. Check the attraction’s current gate and entrance guidance before choosing your arrival point.
Tube Connections at Queensway
Queensway is served by Central line. The line name gives your operator a useful cross-check alongside the station address. Central: Notting Hill Gate and Lancaster Gate are the neighbouring named stops shown around Queensway in TfL’s route sequences.
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 lift 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 Queensway, 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 Queensway
For an airport cab from Queensway, start with the station collection address and the airport terminal, rather than only “London airport”. Holborn is an example of a Piccadilly-line interchange shared with the Central 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.
