BY TAXI
Black Cabs
-
the traditional London Taxis, are licensed by the
Metropolitan Police.
Their drivers are
professionals, and have to pass rigorous exams before
they are allowed to operate. They know almost every
street in London.
All you
have to say is "SIDNEY HOTEL London-Victoria, 68-76
Belgrave Road Victoria, please" and they will take you
here.
You pay
what the taxi-meter shows. A Tip is not mandatory, but
a rule of thumb is 10% of the fare.
For long
distance journeys they can be VERY expensive.
Minicabs
-
are individuals who own a car, and worked together
either under one company name which are registered or
not but mostly they are not regulated - some are good
and reasonably priced specially for long distance
journeys.
Unfortunately some may take advantage of your
unfamiliarity by overcharging and will not know the
route.
Always book them through the Hotel Reception to avoid
any kind of inconveniences.
