Elephant & Castle: Location and Local Orientation
Elephant & Castle Underground station is recorded by TfL at Elephant & Castle Underground Station, London Rd, London, SE1 6LW. Use London Rd and postcode SE1 6LW to anchor your taxi or cab enquiry rather than a broad neighbourhood name. Its Underground fare-zone reference is 1 / 2; a Tube fare zone does not set the price of a taxi or minicab.
The closest other Underground station positions in this directory are Kennington (0.78 km), Borough (0.89 km), and Lambeth North (0.94 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 Southwark local-authority area (St George's ward). These postcode boundaries are administrative references; use your actual street destination when arranging a minicab.
Named Places Around Elephant & Castle
Named green-space landmarks around Elephant & Castle include The Castle Centre (other sports facility, approximately 0.14 km to the mapped boundary); St Mary's Churchyard (public park or garden, approximately 0.15 km to the mapped boundary); Elephant Park (public park or garden, approximately 0.22 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 The Castle Centre, 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

Airport Taxi Planning from Elephant & Castle
For an airport cab from Elephant & Castle, 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.
