London Taxis

Have you phoned a can company to see if they can be pre-booked? If you can get a cab that's just starting the shift it should be clean. I'm sure the owner will even put ribbons on if you pay extra!

I plan to just flag a black cab on the day, although that obviously depends where you are! I'm staying in a London hotel so should be fairly easy?! My sister did the same for her wedding a few years ago - she randomly decided on the morning she wanted ribbons on it and that did take a bit of begging on my part!

You can pre-book black cabs, we are using www.radiotaxis.co.uk but there are several companies that can do this. It is no more expensive and would save you hailing one on the street. We are taking a black cab from hotel - ceremony and then ceremony - venue, but we have booked Addison Lee to ferry our guests as I found it nigh on impossible to book multiple black cabs.

If you book a specific wedding taxi it does tend to be pricey as they charge by the hour.

I had a white taxi - booked through a local Essex company.

Was £250 to take me to the church and then to the venue afterwards, probably about 2hrs in total.

Another vote for a white cab ! When I got married I lived in Wandsworth so was not far from my London venue

I'll try and dig out the guy's details if you want? My uncle is a black cab driver, and found this guy driving around and stopped him!
