Calling a black taxi (taxi) in London

When you were in London, you'd have seen a black cab. They are a real London icon (almost as iconoclastic as a London bus!), but how were they created and how do you greet them? The London taxi (often referred to as a "black taxi") has a very long tradition. It began as horse-drawn coaches, known as "Hackney coaches", and the first mention of these coaches dates back to 1662!

As motorized automobiles became more and more fashionable, the cab designs often shifted and it wasn't until after 1945 that the black cab designs that we all know and like today were introduced. Nowadays black taxi doesn't have to be black anymore - many taxi's are available in different colors and are often advertised!

Taxi riders in London (often known as "taxi drivers") must complete a test known as " The Knowledge" before they can take a taxi. It' an incredibly tough test as they have to remember every road in London within six mile of Charing Cross! That means they have to study 320 itineraries, 25,000 roads and 20,000 sights!

Mean period of studies and passing the examination is 3 years! Don't scream 'TAXI!' in a driving black cab. Keep in mind that London taxi drivers know every road and every emblem in London, so if you go to a London hotels or theatres, all you have to do is give them your name and not the real adress!

Kabbies will always work out the fastest routes, even considering the transport! The black cabins can accommodate five persons (3 on the rear and 2 on the opposite folding seats). Every single night, black taxi riders take the roads and encounter a multitude of different types of travellers so they really know a great deal about London!

The majority of taxi drivers like to chat, so don't be scared to ask questions about what sights to see, what places to stay, London's past or even its politics! Inside the cabin, this is automaticly computed from one metre and is dependent on the daytime, the covered route and the covered amount of work.

Blacks can be quite costly, so you can use mini-cabs as a cheaper option as they tell you the cost before they begin to drive (if they don't tell you, don't forget to ask!).

Though London transportation and mini cars are less expensive, I would definitely suggest calling a black cab at least once during your stay in London as it is a great way to get around and you are sure to get something from your chauffeur!
