Great video, I've just bought an ex-London Fairway with the 2.7 engine, and I love it! What other car has such character and allows easy carrying of wheelchair users too? I have to admit to fitting extra soundproofing too! I also own a Bentley Turbo R, and I think the Taxi attracts MORE attention around Cheltenham than that! Cheers!
I'm a driver in Leeds... if anyone gives me shit I just tell them to get out. If they don't get out I just turn the opposite way they want to go until they get the message. They soon get out. In 9 years of driving I've only once ever had to drag a guy out physically.

No, bicycle is always quicker in central london by the time you have got into that taxi and the taxi driver has actually understood you're commands and paying the money and taking the change from his hand it is quicker for a fit cylcist to bike it. and you have to wait for a cab. the average speed of cars in central london is 10mph. Cars are gay and you look really queer sat behind that steering wheel like a ponce also. ABandon ur gay car
Those london cabs should have intercoms in the back with micrphones so the passengers dont have to shout. THis taxi driver one time was being a right prick pretending he was unable to hear me. I just walked out of the cab. THey are also very cramed to get into and out of giving an unhealthy posture for passengers. SOme of those london taxi drivers are very rude, not all though. I still find a bicycle the best method of travelling through central london and the most enjoyable.
Judging by you're comments you are kind of a rude fool. Do you think ur special because you drive a car? YOu need to chill out. THe fact you call somebody a prick proves you are a fool. How the hell you can even judge somebody through an internet comment prooves you must be pretty simple minded.
Its hard cause youtube wont let me post an address or anything like one, i have tried.
If you go down the royal oak as you leave there is a poster on the wall facing you with the address of our main site just navigate to the surveilence videos. Someone has written on the top in biro, hope you find it.
Should be called the Coventry taxi as that is where they are made and as they are common in both Edinburgh and Glasgow,why are they called The London Taxi?
Hi Phil, I noticed this YouTube of yours and to my big surprise it contains several pictures (6x) I made myself. As I also noticed several pictures out of other publications.

Bux,you can rest easy mate, i mean well. As a london cabbie myself there isn't a cab driver in London that would mind me using an image of their cab. After 4 years on the knowledge i think i've earned that right.
Knowledgeboy,thanks for yourcomments mate, it is a long hard trek for sure. Work hard at it keep your head down and you and your brother will get there. Be lucky!
nice video there m8, been a cabbie in London over 9 years now and its a great job, sometimes i hate it most of the time i love it but i wouldn't want to change it.
Any chance of posting what song that is and who sings it ?
hi phil , nice video and soundtrack , im soon to move onto points at the moment along with my brother , its a long old trek is the knowledge but ill never give up , every 24hrs that pass is a day closer to my much wanted green badge , good luck to all you london cabbies out there , i just hope its not too long before we join you , stay safe!
No disrespect mate, we have a proud history going back more than 350 years only those who have completed the knowledge have the right to call themselves cabbie. Every london cabbie feels the same way about it, thank you for your comment.
