Mile End: Location and Local Orientation
Mile End Underground station is recorded by TfL at Mile End Station, Mile End Rd, London, E3 4DH. Use Mile End Rd and postcode E3 4DH to anchor your taxi or cab enquiry rather than a broad neighbourhood name. Its Underground fare-zone reference is 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 Bow Road (0.62 km), Stepney Green (0.97 km), and Bromley-by-Bow (1.53 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 Tower Hamlets local-authority area (Bromley North ward). These postcode boundaries are administrative references; use your actual street destination when arranging a minicab.
Named Places Around Mile End
Named green-space landmarks around Mile End include Mile End Park (public park or garden, approximately 0.10 km to the mapped boundary); Tredegar Square Gardens (public park or garden, approximately 0.20 km to the mapped boundary); Holy Trinity Church (religious grounds, approximately 0.23 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 Mile End Park, 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.

Mile End, Grove Road and Victoria Park
Tower Hamlets Council identifies Mile End as Victoria Park’s nearest Underground station and lists several park entrances, including gates on Grove Road and Victoria Park Road. For a cab after a park visit, choose a specific gate or road meeting place rather than treating the whole park as one collection point.

Hammersmith & City: Bow Road and Stepney Green are the neighbouring named stops shown around Mile End 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 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 Mile End, 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 Mile End
For an airport cab from Mile End, 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.
