Aldgate: Location and Local Orientation
Aldgate Underground station is recorded by TfL at Aldgate Station, Aldgate High St, London, EC3N 1AH. Use Aldgate High St and postcode EC3N 1AH 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 Aldgate East (0.25 km), Tower Hill (0.48 km), and Liverpool Street (0.62 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 City of London local-authority area (Portsoken ward). These postcode boundaries are administrative references; use your actual street destination when arranging a minicab.
Named Places Around Aldgate
Named green-space landmarks around Aldgate include King George's Field (public park or garden, approximately 0.30 km to the mapped boundary); Jubilee Gardens (public park or garden, approximately 0.35 km to the mapped boundary); Tower Gardens (public park or garden, approximately 0.46 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 King George's Field, 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.

Aldgate and the Tower of London Area
Historic Royal Palaces lists Aldgate among the Underground approaches to the Tower of London. Aldgate and Aldgate East are separate stations, so check your actual arrival before arranging a minicab. A visit to the Tower also needs the attraction’s own entry instructions rather than the station address shown on this page.

Luggage, Access and Your Minicab Meeting Point
The station’s captured TfL facilities reference includes 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 Aldgate, 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 Aldgate
For an airport cab from Aldgate, 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 Circle and 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.
