West Harrow: Location and Local Orientation
West Harrow Underground station is recorded by TfL at West Harrow Station, Vaughan Rd, Harrow, Middx, HA1 4HE. Use Vaughan Rd and postcode HA1 4HE to anchor your taxi or cab enquiry rather than a broad neighbourhood name. Its Underground fare-zone reference is 5; a Tube fare zone does not set the price of a taxi or minicab.
The closest other Underground station positions in this directory are North Harrow (0.85 km), Harrow-on-the-Hill (1.12 km), and Rayners Lane (1.33 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 Harrow local-authority area (North Harrow ward). These postcode boundaries are administrative references; use your actual street destination when arranging a minicab.
Named Places Around West Harrow
Named green-space landmarks around West Harrow include West Harrow Recreation Ground (playing field, approximately 0.18 km to the mapped boundary); St Peter's Church (religious grounds, approximately 0.32 km to the mapped boundary); North Harrow Tennis Club (tennis court, approximately 0.76 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 West Harrow Recreation 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 toilets listed and a waiting room 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 West Harrow, 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 West Harrow
For an airport cab from West Harrow, start with the station collection address and the airport terminal, rather than only “London airport”. Rayners Lane is an example of a Piccadilly-line interchange shared with the Metropolitan 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.
