West Kensington: Location and Local Orientation
West Kensington Underground station is recorded by TfL at West Kensington Station, North End Rd, London, W14 9NL. Use North End Rd and postcode W14 9NL 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 Barons Court (0.47 km), Kensington (Olympia) (0.83 km), and West Brompton (0.84 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 Hammersmith and Fulham local-authority area (West Kensington ward). These postcode boundaries are administrative references; use your actual street destination when arranging a minicab.
Named Places Around West Kensington
Named green-space landmarks around West Kensington include Gwendwr Garden (public park or garden, approximately 0.14 km to the mapped boundary); The Queen's Club (tennis court, approximately 0.35 km to the mapped boundary); Hammersmith Cemetery (cemetery, approximately 0.47 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 Gwendwr 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.

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 West Kensington, 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 West Kensington
For an airport cab from West Kensington, start with the station collection address and the airport terminal, rather than only “London airport”. Barons Court is an example of a Piccadilly-line interchange shared with the District 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.
