Russell Square: Location and Local Orientation
Russell Square Underground station is recorded by TfL at Russell Square Station, Bernard St, London, WC1N 1LJ. Use Bernard St and postcode WC1N 1LJ 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 Holborn (0.67 km), Goodge Street (0.75 km), and Euston Square (0.85 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 Camden local-authority area (Bloomsbury ward). These postcode boundaries are administrative references; use your actual street destination when arranging a minicab.
Named Places Around Russell Square
Named green-space landmarks around Russell Square include Russell Square Gardens (public park or garden, approximately 0.11 km to the mapped boundary); Queen Square Garden (public park or garden, approximately 0.14 km to the mapped boundary); Brunswick Square Gardens (public park or garden, approximately 0.18 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 Russell Square Gardens, 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.

A Museum Connection from Russell Square
The British Museum lists Russell Square as an Underground approach to its Bloomsbury site. Its two published visitor entrance addresses are Great Russell Street and Montague Place.

Luggage, Access and Your Minicab Meeting Point
The station’s captured TfL facilities reference includes lift facilities 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 Russell Square, 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 Russell Square
Russell Square is on the Piccadilly network, whose TfL route map includes Heathrow branches as well as other destinations. That makes terminal and branch selection important if you compare Tube travel with an airport taxi. For a cab request instead, provide the exact airport, terminal, flight details and whether this is a collection or departure journey; do not infer a car fare from a Tube route.
