We were very keen to take a ride in a black taxi cab while in London, just like on the movies! We took the opportunity on the day we went to Paris on the Eurostar, rather than catching public transport before dawn.  

The first photo is a cab we saw earlier in the week on Brompton Road, and the second is a quick photo we grabbed as we got out of the actual cab we went in, when it dropped us off at St Pancras Station at 5.30am!
