Hoka sky flow
Blomfield Street 👀
Well spotted 😂
Great work , love this content , thanks !
Glad you enjoy it!
Love these shift videos! Another good book is: "Behind Closed Doors: The Secret Life of London Private Members' Clubs", just been listening to it.
I'll check it out! Thank you 👍
What a palaver all the restrictions are
Thanks for Uploading 👍 The route info was great👌. Keep them coming Sir....Be Lucky.....
Great video. I'm also a London taxi driver green badge and also exercise frequently and find it an essential tool for a productive day. Would be good to see more on the exercise side of things. 🎉
Please continue your channel and videos! Love london, and your content is very satisfying! Cheers from The Netherlands!
Thank you! Will do!
Been waiting a while for this… great video keep it up buddy
Thank you, More to come!
What an amazing video, your expertise and knowledge of London is simply great.The video really emphasises what a genuine and professional person you are.Keep up the amazing content.
So nice of you thank you
I watched a film about the knowledge a long time ago, ironically enough it's called "The Knowledge". Was released late 70's I think and a really good film. Have you seen it? Anyways, thanks for uploading, enjoyed the video. :)
One of my favourite films , thanks for the message 👍
Worked in Lille for 3 months and loved the place.
Nice place to visit, some nice architecture there too. Awesome birthday present.
Yes, thank you
We don't want this, We want your 'Shift' videos ! or have you given up doing them
They will coming back really soon , appreciate the feedback 👍
Are you in a left hand drive cab it looks your driving the wrong way
Hello John , no im not just the camera was settings were incorrect 👍
Hey mate Is it possible to pull 500 as a cabbie driver Great channel btw
I'll keep my eyes peeled and look out for you when I venture around that area: I usually do when I'm there. Good that you have a run during your shift ♥️
Thanks alot uncle Peter, hope your all good 👍
Very interesting and entertaining 😊
Very interesting, Thank you.
Your welcome , much appreciated
Nice video mate! Keep up the good work and be lucky! A fellow cabbie and fan here! What’s the music playing during these jobs? Ta
Hello Danny, I use power director and get tge rights to use the music from that . Appreciate tge message mate 👍
The Salmon and Ball Pub was built way before 1970 my friend.
Thanks alot Alan for spotting that mistake, im really not sure why i said that as you probably well know it it dates back from the 18century, appreciate you noticing the mistake , be lucky 👍
Love this! London Cabbies that do the Knowledge have a bigger hippocampus part of the brain as use navigation skills daily. Better brains than London bus drivers as they do the same routes. Neuroscience vibes 😂 … those doing the tours are another level of brain power 😊 🧠💪 Great informative video!
Thank you ☺️
Great video. A bit long. Tom taxi channel got the length right. Maybe try putting a 360 camera on the outside of the cab. Getting a birds eyes view. London eats does it. Just a different point of view than all the other London cabbies channels
Thanks for the feedback 👍
I'm stangely surprised that it's so big inside, don't know why though as it's clearly a large structure.
I visit London a few times a year for various things (shows, events, etc...) and I do like a good tour. Unfortunately my mobility has taken a bit of a knock in the last few months, making it difficult to walk far 😩 Roughly how much are those taxi tours if I decided to have a go on one?
Thanks for reaching out, i feel my tour would be perfect for you please visit my site for more details about the tours i do and prices traditionallondontours.com
Good lesson here for taxi drivers” it’s nice to have a good day how are you before the journey, Some drivers don’t say a word and it can feel uncomfortable Nice to know the driver is pleased for custom and showing you he isn’t a grumpy old git and is willing to listen if you have a preferred route, with out getting stroppy , cabbies are known for friendly banter . Well done 👍
Thank you 👍
Great production. Of all the taxi videos on you tube This has nailed it well done . 👍
Thank you 👍
Great video mate. Keep them coming 👍
Thanks, will do!
Great video again Danny, keep them coming mate
Danny did you go Morpeth school ?
Hey Alex no I went to Wanstead High school
Great tour around one of the most iconic views of London. Been on Tower Bridge but never in the museum. All the best :)
Thank you very much 👍
Well what a surprise, you certainly do mix it up! Proof that wherever you go in London, there are some fascinating sites and stories to be had.
Great video 👌🏻what equipment are you using ?
I used for this video , a dashcam when i had a passenger on board , and when not on board I used my dji pocket 3 and mobile phone
Great video new subscriber here! More of the same please
Thank you! Will do!
Love the video. Personally I would prefer you talking the route taken instead of the music and I would say splitting the video into 2 or even 3 videos may be better but that’s just my personal preference. People seem to love taxi driver Tom and Mark Monroe shift videos the most so I think this format is great.
Thanks for the feedback be lucky 👍
Another great video. Where do you go for a shower after your run? Or is that the end of your shift.
Thank you. Yeah I try to do the run at the end of the shift, for that reason . Be Lucky
Great video mate. What map do you use to show the route? It seems really clear…would be useful/helpful for myself on the KOL. Cheers for any info….👍🏻
Thank you , i use cabbies mate a must have especially for all London Cabbies
Really enjoyable and interesting video. You have to have a lot of patience driving in London and a great memory for your routes as you have to decide immediately a customer gets in as to the best route. Another thing I noticed is that there are large number of cyclists who have a death wish.
Why does it look like you’re driving a left handed drive cab. Great video by the way.
Thanks for the feedback paul , i think because i had the mirrored front camera option off in my settings , it makes it look like im driving on the right, i will make sure in the next video, the camera settings are correct, im learning as i go with this youtube stuff lol. Thanks again 😊
Brilliant video Daniel thank you, brother, I learned a lot about London in this video and I subscribed to your RUclips, keep moving forward bro
Nice enjoyable video mate👍👍 your route info was great, especially around the bank junction👌 keep them coming...enjoy your run 🏃♂🏃♂👍
Great video. I work in a different field and feel that its the best job in the world but if I was to be a cabbie, it would seem to be an enjoyable job. All the best.
Brilliant video mate, from a cabbie in Newcastle 👌🏻
Much appreciated, thank you for watching 👍
Great video mate thanks for taking the time to do one
Great shift with the London Cabbie , great advice . Im going to forward your name as the new face for Pop Tarts.
I just hope their watching 😂
Your a top bloke really enjoyed this keep more content coming 👌
Glad you enjoyed
Great video mate. Thank you for the content. The question I have for you that maybe you’ll do in more detail in another video. The ranks? How do you tell what’s a rest rank and what’s a rank for picking up? And how long do you get to stay on these rest ranks for? Keep up the good content Be lucky 🍀
Great Question, there is a app called Taxi ranks that will tell you if it is a rest rank or not, thank yoy for watching
I like these types of video. Your inward pointing camera is back to front. And perhaps run the route speeded up a bit more?
Thanks for the feedback Trevor , noted! 👍
Hi there, I very much enjoyed your video, I do like the way you explain the route and don’t just reel it off, as if you are doing a Knowledge exam. It was nice to see your family and where you live. The one thing I didn’t like and that was the music, the repetition was driving me mad! So much so that I have not completed watching the video, as I need a break from that music.
Thanks alot John for your great feedback hope you are all good 👍, regarding the music, its very difficult what to put when i have a passenger on board, i can only use a forward facing TFL camera when a passenger is on board , which means there is no sound. So thats why ive been putting the music over the top of it, I could do a voice over the driving route with the passenger on board, but I see alot of other yotubers doing that, and im trying my best not to copy. Once again appreciate you reaching out 👍
