I'd be interested if any of the London drivers could let us know how many of the shelters still exist and where they are. These really are a significant part of British taxi history. |

These really are a significant part of British taxi history. Theres about a dozen, and as you are probably already aware, they are all listed buildings. I use the St Johns Wood one, in Wellington Place. The woman who runs it was a cook in the old chec. republic. Top nosh.
