London taxis here in Melbourne!! Story here.
They're so cute!!! They ran a phone poll this morning on the radio station I listen to, people had to vote on whether they want white, silver or black. Black was the overwhelming winner.
Do you have other colours in London? Last time I was there I only saw black ones. |

I don't know about in London but I've seen white ones and a pink one. They have them in a lot of the major cities and I love being able to hail one if necessary when they drive by.
Stephen Fry used to own one for his personal use, I believe, and so does Kate Moss.

Oh, that's neat!!  There's one around London with a Union flag painted on the roof, I noticed it last time I was in London - wonder if someone will eventually do that with your Australian flag on one of the taxi's?! |

Aren't they great! I've seen quite a few silver ones. Actually I have a relative who is a cabbie and I think his is silver.

I've seen black, silver and green - the black is always my favourite as those are the ones I always remember from being a child in London!  |

That's neat Meg. There's quite a few white ones in London now. Not quite the same as being black though IMO. I've seen the Union Jack one too Barbara |

Lucky! They are my favorite cabs in all the world! So much easier to get in/out of for one thing, not to mention the charm. Yes, it's all about the charm! The test vehicle that has been driving around here is silver, but most people voted that they wanted black because it seemed like it was more in keeping with the traditional London taxis. I can't wait to see them on the roads. Better than the stinky old yellow sedans we have now. |
