London Taxis

Think of London and there's an image of a black cab in there somewhere. One of the coolest ways to get about the city is the London Black Cab. Thanks to it being the chosen mode of transport for one Stephen Fry (and most celebs out on the razzle) the black cab elevates in popularity by the day. We mention Stephen Fry because the funnyman actually purchased his own cab and often suffers the annoyance of jumping in it when trying to get somewhere fast! If you're heading to London this year why not hitch a ride with a traditional black cab from one of the airports to your destination? A couple of great websites allow you to have your cab booked and ready for when you get off your plane.

One of the best websites for this is the London-taxi website. This handy little number is the smartest way to get a cab booked in advance. This website is also jam packed with info on the history of the black cab so you can find out where and how it all started...

The London black cab is one of the most iconic images in London and still very popular today. If you're going to London make sure you take a spin in one!
