Tottenham Court Road: Location and Local Orientation
Tottenham Court Road Underground station is recorded by TfL at Tottenham Court Road Station, Oxford St, London, W1D 2DH. Use Oxford St and postcode W1D 2DH 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 Goodge Street (0.54 km), Covent Garden (0.56 km), and Leicester Square (0.58 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 (West End ward). These postcode boundaries are administrative references; use your actual street destination when arranging a minicab.
Named Places Around Tottenham Court Road
Named green-space landmarks around Tottenham Court Road include St Giles-in-the-Fields Church (religious grounds, approximately 0.15 km to the mapped boundary); St Anne's Church (religious grounds, approximately 0.44 km to the mapped boundary); Bloomsbury Square Gardens (public park or garden, approximately 0.55 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 Giles-in-the-Fields 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.

Luggage, Access and Your Minicab Meeting Point

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 Tottenham Court Road, 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 Tottenham Court Road
For an airport cab from Tottenham Court Road, start with the station collection address and the airport terminal, rather than only “London airport”. Leicester Square 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.
