Description
Remember wherever you go, go with all your heart.
~ Confucious
* --------------------------- *
London taxis have been transporting individuals since the early 1600's. What we are familiar with today are the black cabs, as iconic in this city as the red telephone booths and the double-decker red buses.
These large, distinctive vehicles can carry a maximum of five persons, are all wheelchair accessible and have ample room for your luggage. The oldest of these taxis began to be phased out in 2010, with ample encouragement from the City for all to upgrade to more environmentally friendly low emission vehicles. The drivers are tested stringently on their knowledge of London and traffic routes prior to their being awarded a license.
