EAC British Taxi Guide

About England Airport Cars

England Airport Cars (EAC) is an independent information site about British taxis. The domain has been online since 2012; in 2026 we rebuilt it as an editorial guide focused on giving travellers and curious readers clear, fact-checked answers about UK taxi culture.

What this site is

EAC publishes long-form articles about:

  • Airport transfers (Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted, Luton, London City).
  • Cruise port taxi services (Dover, Southampton, Tilbury, Folkestone).
  • The history and present of London black cabs.
  • The Knowledge of London — the famous cabbie examination.
  • Etiquette, tipping, payment, and the unwritten rules.
  • Comparisons with minicabs and Uber.

Every article is written or edited by EAC Editorial — a small team that researches each piece against public sources from Transport for London (tfl.gov.uk), gov.uk transport regulations, and the London Transport Museum digital archive. See our sources and how we write for the details.

What this site is not

EAC is not a booking service. We do not arrange journeys, sell rides, take payments, or partner with operators. There are no affiliate links to booking platforms in our articles. If you want to book a London black cab, the official routes are the TfL-licensed apps (Free Now, Gett) or hailing one in the street.

Editorial standards

  • No fictional authors. Articles are signed “EAC Editorial”. We do not invent personas with fake biographies and AI-generated photos.
  • Sources cited at the foot of every article. If we reference TfL fare zones, the Knowledge syllabus, or any specific rule, you’ll see the source link and date.
  • Last updated dates are kept current. When TfL fares or licensing rules change, the affected articles are revised within a fortnight.
  • AI-assisted, human-edited. Drafts are produced with the help of large language models, then revised by editors against source material. We do not publish unedited machine output.

Contact

EAC operates as a small editorial outfit without a public phone number. To correct an error or suggest a topic, see the FAQ for current contact options.
