London Is Losing Its Black Cabs… This Is What’s Replacing Them

<p>Black cab driver Lee O’Brien talks about the real state of London’s streets. From dangerous cycle lanes and phone-zombie pedestrians to watch-snatching gangs, identity-sharing Uber drivers, and the slow death of one of London’s greatest institutions.</p><p>Lee reveals the shocking differences between black cabs (who spend years mastering “The Knowledge”) and private hire/Uber, the safety risks passengers face, the mental health toll on cabbies, and how road closures, bus gates, and out-of-area licences are squeezing the traditional trade. </p><p>He also shares the incredible true story of writing a song about Tommy Robinson, randomly picking him up in Knightsbridge, and ending up performing in front of hundreds of thousands at a major rally.</p><p>Support London’s black cabs. They’re more than just a ride — they’re part of the city’s soul. What do you think — black cab or Uber?
