TAXIS AND MINICABS

The famous London black taxi can be hailed from the street or booked in advance by phone or app. For more information, and for fare details, see https://tfl.gov.uk/modes/taxis-and-minicabs.

Other private minicab companies operate in London, but cannot be hailed from the street, and must be booked in advance. For information about safe travel in London minicabs, see: https://tfl.gov.uk/campaign/safer-travel.

Central London is also serviced by several online ride-booking services, such as Uber (https://www.uber.com/gb/en) and Lyft (https://www.lyft.com).
