BY TAXI If you are not familiar with
London, you should be aware that "Black Cabs" -
the traditional London Taxis - are regulated and
will take you straight to Comfort Inn Victoria
from any point within London and Heathrow
Airport.
All you have to say is "Comfort Inn Victoria,
18-24. Belgrave Road. Victoria please" and they
will take you there.
Black Cabs are licensed by the Metropolitan
Police. Their drivers are professionals, and
have to pass rigorous exams before they are
allowed to operate.
You pay what the taxi-meter shows. They know
almost every street in London, every Hotel,
Embassy, Rail Station Theatre and Airport, as
well as many restaurants, night-spots and
entertainment venues.
A Tip is not mandatory, but a rule of thumb
is 10% of the fare.
"Minicabs" are individuals who own a car, and
are not regulated - some are good and reasonably
priced, but a minority will take advantage of
your unfamiliarity by overcharging and will not
know the route. Always state your destination
clearly and agree a price before you get into a
minicab. Make it clear that the price agreed is
what you will pay, and not a penny more.
If Safety is your concern, always use a Black
Cab.
