We found this gem on YouTube and just had to share it – it’s a look at the life of London Taxi drivers in the 1960’s. Such a fascinating look at London’s past.

Absolutely loved it, more please!!!
Love the girlie calendar in the workshop!
I’ve read a lot online of bicycle accidents in London, it looks as though drivers were more careful back then.
I lived in London in the early 1970’s and remember so many drivers of cabs I took as kind, helpful, ultra polite gentlemen. Loved this video. Just mentioned recently how the doorman @ a NYC hotel had to tell the cab driver he called for me how to get to GRAND CENTRAL STATION !!!
Oh how I wish they trained the Taxi drivers here in Sydney like that. many of our drivers cannot speak english & they take you all over the place trying to get from A to B.
It took me back to my childhood when life was just grand,just think a Taxi ride for a few Bob!
