Tips

  1. Genuine black cabs don't approach passengers, they wait in the queue. Touts in arrivals ask £120–200.
  2. From 22:00 to 6:00 the black-cab tariff is 20–25% higher.
  3. Tipping isn't required in a cab, rounding up is enough. Cards and contactless are accepted.
  4. With light luggage the Elizabeth line is several times cheaper.
