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
IVY House Hotel from any point within
London and Heathrow Airport.
All you have to say is "IVY House
Hotel, 18 Hugh Street, 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.
