Transportation, to go around London (Click here)
Double Decker Bus
A double-decker bus is a bus that has two storeys or 'decks'. While double-decker
long-distance coaches are in widespread use around the world, double-decker city
buses are less common. Double-decker buses are popular in some cities of Europe
and in parts of Asia, usually in former British colonies (Hong Kong, Singapore etc.)
Some double-deckers specialise in short sight-seeing tours for tourists for,
as William Ewart Gladstone observed, "the way to see London is from
the top of a 'bus". (Gladstone was referring to London's once ubiquitous double-deck
horse drawn omnibuses, rather than a motor bus).[1]
Taxi London
A hackney or hackney carriage (also called a cab, hack or London taxi) is a
carriage or automobile for hire. A livery carriage superior to the hackney was
called a remise.In the United Kingdom, the name hackney carriage
refers to a taxicab licensed by the Public Carriage Office in Greater London
or by the local authority (non-metropolitan district councils or unitary authorities)
in other parts of Great Britain, or by the Department of the Environment in
Northern Ireland.In the United States, the police department of the city of Boston
has a Hackney Carriage Unit, analogous to taxicab regulators in other cities,
that issues Hackney Carriage medallions to its taxi operators.
