When in London travel in style

London taxis or London taxi cabs or rather those dull and dreary ‘black cabs’ could be as iconic as the ‘Big Ben’ yet being iconic alone is no guarantee for remaining in service forever. At least that is what has happened to some of this city’s key symbols like the red telephones and Routemaster double-decker buses. In fact, London’s legendary licensed taxis, whose origin could be traced to more than 300 years, along with their ‘vastly knowledgeable’ drivers are currently facing a pretty tough competition for survival.



These stalwarts, as a matter of fact, are now being threatened by the arrival of a far more advanced breed of vehicles known as Mercedes Benz Vito minivans which have already received the blessings of the city’s stringent Public Carriage Office and so are free to do as much business as they like. Moreover, the Vito is also being used as a family-mover in addition to private-hire business.



However, despite the challenge and the change, London’s taxis are known to provide service that is considered to be the world’s best. In a recent survey carried out by Hotels.com involving around 1,900 world travelers, it was revealed that 59% of travelers confirmed that London taxi offered the best service, N. York and Tokyo falling behind.

However, when it comes to the question of picking up VIPs from the airport, corporate giants would never think in terms of sending a taxi to do that august job. Limousines or stretch limos (as are colloquially called) with Heathrow Chauffeur Service do that job with efficiency and style. Based at Heathrow, the service comprises training drivers about etiquette, manners, propriety and decorum so that they can interact with visiting dignitaries with relative ease and decency. What is more, these chauffeurs are fully familiar with all major UK airports, sea ports, railway stations, hotels as well as city entertainment locations, private and business houses. The service is available all the year round, 24 hours a day and includes travel to any destination in UK and neighboring countries.



Taxi transfers in London are a breeze, too. There are innumerable organizations in or around London that operate 24 hour taxi service to and from most major UK airports and sea ports. Besides, they are open 24x7x365. What is more, most of them accept online booking in case booking over telephone could not be made.
