    there are minicabs, which are cheaper and are “normal” car models, but you have to call them up in advance to get one.

    Any taxi you hail in the street or get from a taxi rank should be a Hackney cab (black taxi)

    The London taxis (Hackney Carriages) are the only ones that you should hail on the street. They can turn almost in their own length and the drivers are subject to an extensive test called ‘the knowledge’ so they really do know their way around.

    if you want any other cab, phone for it in advance as you then know it will be licensed, and find some way of identifying it when it arrives, e.g. the drivers’ name. Getting in an unlicensed taxi puts you at risk of an uninsured accident or even an attack.

    Hackney cabs are the London black cabs and can be flagged down on the road. However, the other taxis have to be advanced booking. You can usually find numbers for them in any directory or hotel.
