About Central London
Central London’s W1 district covers the West End — Soho, Fitzrovia, Marylebone and Mayfair — the city’s busiest shopping, theatre and business core. It’s ringed by major stations including Paddington, Euston, King’s Cross and Victoria, and threaded with Underground lines, making it both a constant pickup point and a place where road closures and congestion charging shape every route. It borders Westminster, Bloomsbury and Covent Garden.
Local knowledge & popular Central London pickup points
We collect from across the West End’s best-known destinations:
- Oxford Street & Regent Street — London’s flagship shopping streets, busiest around Oxford Circus.
- Soho & Covent Garden — the theatre, dining and nightlife heart of the West End.
- Piccadilly Circus — a central landmark and transport junction.
- Mayfair & Marylebone — premium residential, hotel and business addresses.
- The British Museum — a major visitor and hotel hub on the Bloomsbury edge of the West End.
Around West End theatres and Oxford Circus we set pickup points on quieter side streets to work with pedestrianised zones and evening traffic.
