Norwich is not a huge city, but it's not small either. When I was there recently taxi fares were a flat £5 for every journey within the city limits. Those limits covered more or less everywhere inside the A47 diameter.

If we had a similar thing in London, with hackneys charging £7 instead of that baffling logarithmic Huskisson scale that they currently use, they might get more custom.

£7 doesn't get you very far in a London black cab (probably less than
a mile). If you say that the typical journey is, say, 3 miles, the
flat fare would be at least £15. And it would only apply within the
central area.
