Black taxi or minicab?

A licensed London taxi can wait at an appointed rank and accept a passenger without a booking. A minicab or app-based private-hire vehicle must be booked through a licensed operator before the journey. Do not accept an unsolicited ride from someone approaching you inside or outside the station.
