Currently there is no limit on taxi drivers hours although there have
been occasional calls to introduce such a limit.

Taxis are only required to be hireable within the licensing area, so
Greater London or the City of Cambridge. Beyond those limits it's
entirely a matter of negotiation, no different from a hire car (or
minicab as Londoners tend to misname them).

Wasn't the point about HOURS rather than area?

Not as far as licensing law is concerned.
