Hackney cabs are the original black cabs of London, currently Austin produced FX4 is the latest running model. It has a very traditional look and provides good space to its passengers, but are a bit expensive then other cabs. London’s taxi service is of top quality when it come to the quality of the taxi’s and the knowledge of its drivers, infact the black cab drivers have to pass an extensive training course and a written exam knows as “the knowledge” and is one of the toughest in the world.

Apart from the regular black cabs, there are private hire mini cabs, but they can be only hired on a pre-booking basis and this can be done using internet, phone or even visiting a booking office. Mini cabs sometimes turn out a cheaper option when compared to the regular black cabs. Cash for junk cars
