All Forms of Transport

London is a huge city...and there are lots of way to get around.

If you don't want to walk very far, you can wear some realllly high heels.

Or, you can take your basic folding bicycle.

Or, you can take a taxi. There are 2 taxi types in the city...the traditional Black Cab which charges according to time and distance...or an "independent" taxi which charges a flat rate. As you can see, the Black Cab Driver is advertising that it is the best way to go because the drivers are trained, knowledgeable, licensed, regulated, etc. We took one of each type of taxi today. The Independent charged £15 and the Black Cab charged £17. I got "sea sick" on both...the cabbies quickly wander in and out of traffic wending their way thru the crowds, seemingly ignoring signs, lanes and anything else that will get in the way.
