London Tourist Trap Tips by leffe3

Never accept an approach on a train station concourse by a 'taxi-driver'. They are unlicensed sharks who will either take you miles out your way before taking you to your destination or simply take you speedily to your route and, in both cases, ask astronomical sums (an aunt of mine - 75 years old - accepted such a lift, was taken some 5 miles to travel from Victoria Rail Station to Victoria Bus Station - a journey of 500 metres. She was asked for 50 pounds! She never paid as she knew the scam and pointed out that the policeman across the street would be very interested in the situation.....). Get your taxi from the taxi ranks that are always outside the stations.
