They’re the “traditional” taxis in London. The drivers are required to essentially memorise the entire road system of London to qualify which makes them a)skilled labourers and b)much better in terms of getting you to a destination than Uber or equivalent can drivers who primarily rely on Google maps or similar.
They’re sometimes more expensive but generally because they’re quicker (and don’t do “surge pricing” in the same way as “disruptor” firms do) the pricing is pretty comparable in my experience.
Black cabs? Are those premium cabs?

Thank you. I learned something today :)
