Take a black cab. Taxis Review

After having travelled well over 60 countries around the world, i have to say that London is close to being the only place in the world where i enjoy going by taxi.
For some reason they have still managed to keep taxi driving an honorable ob done by people who put pride in to doing it well and not just a bunch of idiots trying to take you for a ride in order to earn an extra buck.
I have taken the black cabs many times in London and have not yet been ripped off.
that is very unusual in my opinion.

I might ad here that i am only talking about the old fashioned black cabs here.
the mini cabs are just the same piece of rubbish that taxi driving is around the world.

Take a black cab in London if you want to be reminded that honest taxi drivers still excist.

Walk to the airport. Walking in London Review

With budget airlines all over the place it´s sometimes more expensive to take the train from the airport to London than the actual plane ticket.
I decided to give it a shot at walking from central London to Stansted airport in october 2005 and spend a joyful 2 days walking through the northern suburbs of London before reaching the airport to catch my flight back to Copenhagen.
On top of getting free transport to the airport, it´s also a nice way to see lesser known parts of London and you will finally convince all your friends that you are totally crazy :O).
