At this very moment, our driver Dave and his London Taxi are being used in a stunt sequence. Also involved are stunt BMX rider Joel Bennett and free runner Ash Holland.
Hopefully, we will eventually be able to show you the film footage involving our taxi. But for the moment, we thought we would share these amazing videos of Joel Bennett and Ash Holland as they perform their stunt magic.

The video has just been released and we have been given kind permission to feature it here on our blog. If you are fans of Ferry and Betsie, you’re going to love this!

We have just completed a filming job for Cwmni Da TV, one of the leading and most well-respected indie production companies in Wales.
They had been commissioned by Channel 4 to produce a series about the changing plight of plant species in the UK. The series, called Wild Things, will examine the changes that have taken place in the British landscape and flora over the past 50 years. For an episode about London, they wanted to examine the air filter of a London Black Taxi and analyse the plant pollens found.
They hired us to provide them with a London Black Taxi, a driver, and a taxi garage. After being driven around London by our driver Dave, the presenters returned to the garage. Once there, our mechanic showed them how to remove the air filter. With microscope at the ready on a nearby workbench, the presenters examined the pollens found in the filter.
The entire session was filmed by Cwmni Da’s talented and professional film crew. The official Cwmni DA television program will be aired soon, but in the meantime we thought you might like to see the video clips that we snapped on the day:

Their tagline is “Presenting the best bands in the most iconic vehicle in the world.”
The concept is simple. Take a musician (or a bunch of them). Put them into a London Black Cab. Film them “doin’ their thang”.
Where do they get the black cabs? Sometimes, they hail a cab off the street. But hailing a London cab off the street is difficult enough without the added burden of instruments, cameras, and sound equipment!
Sometimes, the cab is booked ahead of time with a company such as us.
We have been privileged to provide cabs to Black Cab Sessions for William Orbit and for an all-day filming gig at the Big Chill Festival.

Dr. Samuel Johnson (1709-1784) wrote A Dictionary of the English Language, published in 1755. This was the first comprehensive dictionary of the English language, and it was the most widely used English dictionary for the next 170 years.
Dr. Johnson lived almost the whole of his adult life in London, and spent much of it in the coffeehouses in and around Fleet Street.
Then as now, coffeehouses largely served as centres of social and political interaction. The first coffeehouse in London was opened in 1652 in St Michael’s Alley, Cornhill.
More than two centuries after the death of Dr Johnson, the BBC will revisit the spirit of Dr. Johnson’s coffeehouses. We have just completed a filming job for Optomen Television for their upcoming BBC documentary about Dr. Samuel Johnson and the London coffeehouses in which he spent much of his time.
“When a man is tired of London, he is tired of life; for there is in London all that life can afford” –Dr Samuel Johnson
