Travel Note

Taxi London: Uber or Gett

Use Uber or Gett for a Black Cab (a black London cab is official; drivers are trained. It's more expensive but has more room for up to five or sometimes six people and luggage- and better navigation). Don't get us wrong—we love Uber—but if you're in a rush, have more than four people or have a tricky drop-off point, Gett is your best bet when ordering London Black cabs. https://www.gett.com/uk/ You can also hail one from the street.
