Plan Your Travels

Planning your time in London is crucial. London is such a small town, however it is considered to be overcrowded and traffic is not exactly swift moving. However if you choose to take your own vehicle into town, parking becomes another issue you have to consider. In London parking spaces are limited, even if you were able to find one, paying for parking spaces can be ludicrously high. Then comes in the dreaded congestion charge fee. If you drive into Central London during peak times you will be required to pay the congestion charge fee. This was brought in to reduce traffic and emissions coming into London.

Ordering a Cab

So why bother with all that stress when you can just get a cab. Getting a cab in central London is very straightforward. There are many trustworthy and reputable cabbies in London, some even offer to take you on a tour themselves! It is all part of the London experience, cabbies are some of the most bubbly people you can meet.

Ordering a cab is easy. As London is so fast paced cabs are always at the ready for you!. In the heart of London there is no way you will not find a cab lurking around somewhere. Black cabs are considered to be more expensive than other independent companies. Black cabs are more reputable than other cabs however, this good service and swift delivery comes at an extra price. Other independent businesses such as Orderacab, provide you a service that compares local cabbies in your area and comes up with the best price for you. This is a great device as it helps people find where they are going at the cheapest price.

Getting a cab is probably the best alternative to driving into central London. You are worry free once you enter and leave the cab. As a driver you are cautious as to where you should park your car. With a cab you are just dropped off to your destination with nothing to worry about.
