History.

The London black taxi, an iconic symbol of the city, traces its origins to the early 20th century. The distinctive design began with the Austin FX3, introduced in 1948, followed by the FX4 in 1958, which became the quintessential black cab model. Known for their roomy interiors and "turn on a sixpence" turning radius, these taxis were built to navigate London's narrow streets. The drivers, known for their extensive training called "The Knowledge," must memorise the city's complex layout, ensuring expert navigation. Modern black cabs, such as the TX series by London Electric Vehicle Company, have evolved to include electric and hybrid models, maintaining the classic look while incorporating eco-friendly technology. The London black taxi remains a beloved and enduring symbol of the city’s heritage and commitment to efficient, reliable public transportation.
