As much a landmark of London as Big Ben, it's no wonder the traditional taxi has become known as the 'London Cab' - even though these taxis are used all around the world. Here's the complete story from Hansom cab to the latest TX1 models. Here, too, is the inside story of the cabbie's life, from 'doing the knowledge' to the reality of running a cab on a daily basis. A fascinating book for anybody who uses or drives taxis and a great souvenir of a visit to the UK.
