Default taxi fares in London

So, roughly speaking, the £4 minicab minimum would get you about a mile
in a black cab? I assume a minicab would take you about twice as far. As
for the £2.40 black cab minimum, it would probably take you less than
three minutes walk, so hardly worth hailing a taxi for anyone who's not
disabled.

I think that many drivers would be reluctant to take somebody under
those conditions, unless they were indeed disabled.


They have to, by law.
