Southwark: Location and Local Orientation
Southwark Underground station is recorded by TfL at Southwark Station, 68 - 70 Blackfriars Rd, London, SE1 8JZ. Use 68 - 70 Blackfriars Rd and postcode SE1 8JZ 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 Waterloo (0.66 km), Lambeth North (0.78 km), and Blackfriars (0.82 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 (Borough & Bankside ward). These postcode boundaries are administrative references; use your actual street destination when arranging a minicab.
Named Places Around Southwark
Named green-space landmarks around Southwark include Nelson Square Garden (public park or garden, approximately 0.15 km to the mapped boundary); Christchurch Churchyard (cemetery, approximately 0.17 km to the mapped boundary); Emma Cons Garden (public park or garden, approximately 0.36 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 Nelson Square Garden, 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.

Tube Connections at Southwark
Southwark is served by Jubilee line. The line name gives your operator a useful cross-check alongside the station address. Jubilee: Waterloo and London Bridge are the neighbouring named stops shown around Southwark 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 lift facilities listed and escalator 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 Southwark, 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 Southwark
For an airport cab from Southwark, start with the station collection address and the airport terminal, rather than only “London airport”. Green Park is an example of a Piccadilly-line interchange shared with the Jubilee 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.
