DIRECTIONS TO THE HOTEL
If you are not familiar with
London, you should be aware that "Black Cabs" - the
traditional London Taxis - are regulated and will
take you straight to Dover Hotel from any
point within London and Heathrow Airport.
All you have to say is "Dover Hotel, 42/44 Belgrave
Road Victoria please" and they will take you there.
Black Cabs are licensed by the Metropolitan Police.
Their drivers are professionals, and have to pass
rigorous exams before they are allowed to operate.
You pay what the taxi-meter shows. They know almost
every street in London, every Hotel, Embassy, Rail
Station Theatre and Airport, as well as many
restaurants, night-spots and entertainment venues.
A Tip is not mandatory, but a rule of thumb is 10%
of the fare.
"Minicabs" are individuals who own a car, and are
not regulated - some are good and reasonably priced,
but a minority will take advantage of your
unfamiliarity by overcharging and will not know the
route. Always state your destination clearly and
agree a price before you get into a minicab. Make it
clear that the price agreed is what you will pay,
and not a penny more.
If Safety is your concern, always use a Black Cab.
