Black cabs are convenient way to travel around London. Unlike San Francisco, the streets are filled with them. If you have a specific destination and time you are leaving, you can also call for a cab to pick you up at your location. If you are planning on taking a cab into the city from the airport, your fare, depending on where you are staying will start at 35 Pounds. We pay at least this much to our house, and we live on the edge of central London. Obviously, traffic and distance will effect the price.
Using cabs around London is certainly more expensive than public transport, but taking one once is definitely worth it. The view is fantastic, and after all where else in the world are you going to take such a historic ride? Not to mention, cabbies here are polite, friendly and incredibly knowledgeable. They have to study for at least two years and take an exam nicknamed "the knowledge" before they can be licensed to drive. Its worth one ride, for sure!
