I don't think the design of taxis throughout London should be predicated on
one particularly exclusive hotel.
I agree. But the tight turning circle is useful across London. It
enables U-turns that could not otherwise be made. A cabbie wouldn't
be keen on picking someone up from the far side of a road if he
couldn't make a U-turn to do so. So punters would end up crossing
busy roads while the cab waited on the other side. I feel pretty sure
that would cause far more accidents.
