Taxis
Local taxis are numerous but …
Any minicab journey that isn't booked by phone or in a minicab office is illegal, dangerous and puts you at risk.
Booking your minicab will guarantee that your trip will be carried out by a licensed driver in a licensed vehicle. It also means a record is kept of your journey so, in the event of any problem, the driver can be traced.
Even drivers in minicabs lined up outside pubs and clubs are breaking the law if they accept your fare without a prior booking. You must not approach minicab drivers and any minicab driver who approaches you on the street anywhere is acting illegally.
Text CAB to 60835* to get the numbers of one taxi and two licensed minicab firms, in the area you are texting from.
*Text charged at 35p per enquiry plus standard text message rate.
You can also use Transport for London’s Findaride service to get phone numbers for licensed minicab and private hire operators.
