Taxi

Always take a licensed black taxi cab to ensure your safety whilst travelling to or from Oxford Street. Taxi’s have access to the length of Oxford Street and can drop passengers anywhere along the street. With the large number available, it’s easy to hail a taxi to take you home if you are weighed down with shopping bags! Cabs are available for hire when the yellow sign above the windscreen is lit; just stick your arm out to signal one.

Fares are metered, with a minimum charge of £2.20, and increments of 20p for each 219m (after the first 438m). There are no additional charges for extra passengers or luggage. You can tip taxi drivers up to 10% but most people round up to the nearest pound.
