I’m retired now, but my badge number was nearly 50, 000 before yours. 29302 issued June 19th 1981. The licence was free in those days as licensing cabbies was deemed to be in the interest of the public, not to pay telephone number salaries to incompetent oafs at TfL Palestra - Met Police at 15 Penton Street in those days. All we had to pay was 15 pence for the badge. Watching your videos brings back happy memories as I loved every day of the 37 years I ‘Pushed the droshky’
Also notice that Mauncel street, beside the Astral cafe, is one of the last, probably the very last, residential street in London to be exclusively lit by gas lamps.

Best London food review I’ve ever seen, exactly the sort of no nonsense places I’ve been looking for

[briansymmes]

When I was at Uni I lived in Balham and there was a very small Pakistani curry takeaway place that didn’t even have tables that was all home-cooked and run by a beautiful family. It is still the best food I’ve tasted in London, you could get everything, it was half the price of most Indian/Sylhet places and never disappointed me, until they closed down.

I was in front of sapori last night, charging my car at the electric charging point. The whole road was full of parked up black taxis. I looked inside the restaurant and it was packed with what seemed like middle aged black taxi drivers.
I have never seen the restaurant so packed before.
Looks like your video has made them popular with a huge surge in business.
Sapori needs to say thank you for this !

[Mr.MSTER]

I'm not a cab driver but I still appreciate that some of those places offer cab drivers a discount.

Top tip. Beigel Bake : when you get a salt beef Beigel get a plain Beigel too. There’s so much meat in one you can make two !

[goldieandblackie]

Nice to see a fresh outlook from a young taxi driver with outstanding content and presented in an easy flowing format.🚕🚖

[paulvbennett]

Good afternoon Tom.
My usual subscriptions are for cycling or walking around London. I gave your site a punt and was really impressed with the content and delivery. Your insights into many aspects of being a London cabbie are really interesting and informative. Looking forward more of your work. Cheers, Paul.

As soon as I saw the title and that it was made by a taxi driver - Brick Lane Beigel was the first thing that came to my mind. You did not disappoint me Sir.

Highly recommend Dibs on Red Lion Street (the lunch deal with a fold is out of this world), Brunel sandwich shop on Fleet Street, Dilieto’s also on Fleet Street, the Smithfield 24hr cafe, John Charlick on Gray’s Inn Rd (recommend the sausage sandwich) and the best of all is the Falafel stand at the Warwick Way market (best Falafel in London!).

[andrewryder]

Excellent recommendation with Jonny Schnitzel. I’d never heard of it but I took the opportunity of a long lunch break from jury service at the Old Bailey to wander up for lunch. It was excellent and I did finish it all in one go.
I’ve also been up to Beigel Bake a couple times when I get a long enough break. Although I have been here before. I even brought my parents once when they visited.

My grandad used to supply The Seashell with their greengrocery orders as he had a shop around the corner. Loved having food from there.

[vincezab]

I live on Vincent Square just next to Astral Cafe, and I can say that the place is hugely popular with cab drivers. The prices look astounding for central, I think I will pop in tomorrow and give it a go.

Looks like you just revealed the five best places in London to get a taxi!

[letmelooktv]

Cant believe you were at Regency Street and didnt mention the regency cafe. One of the best fry ups in london!

[JustJayme]

Love that you're expanding your content Tom!

Tim has a camera-person...living the dream right there 👍

[seanjamescameron]

Do you remember Fuzzy Grubs? We had one on Fleet Street and it was a Sunday roast but in a very large bread roll, yes even with gravy. If you timed it well and arrived just before they closed you ended up with extra meat. LOVED IT!

[Flixio-]

I live in Liverpool only ever been to London twice and yet you’re still one of my favourite channels I just love the passion I guess keep it up mate!
