How are nowadays the taxi fares? Still the same? Thank you
The fare tables can be found he

The fares guide is rather optimistically low - in recent trips I've paid
about £8 more than than the 'max' £21 4 mile/30 min trip to and from the
eastern edge of N1 to W1 (Green Park area). £30 when you add in tips.
Yes, the fares today seem very expensive. Mini cabs are much cheaper, but
do have to be pre-booked (or at least phoned for, rather than hailed on the
street).
They also don't have the right to use the bus lanes, whereas black cabs do.
True. Do black cabs have to pay the cc?
