    If you’re in London then Taxiapp is the one to use; it’s for black cabs and is run by and for them. I always use black cabs if take a taxi in London - the Knowledge is an amazing thing!

    Free Now is good and is used by black cabs as well.

        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.
