How are nowadays the taxi fares? Still the same? Thank you
The fare tables can be found he

The fares guide is rather optimistically low - in recent trips I've paid
about £8 more than than the 'max' £21 4 mile/30 min trip to and from the
eastern edge of N1 to W1 (Green Park area). £30 when you add in tips.

Yes, the fares today seem very expensive. Mini cabs are much cheaper, but
do have to be pre-booked (or at least phoned for, rather than hailed on the
street).


They also don't have the right to use the bus lanes, whereas black cabs do.
