Very interesting and entertaining 😊
Great video, but you need to find better music
I actually liked the music
Great insight into what cabbies do and how you plan your day. Looking forward to day 2 , bravo
Great video Sir 👍
Currently on the KoL and it nice to see another cabbie uploading, always going to be useful and it nice to test myself when you are driving down the road and I know where you are and heading.
Welldone for getting the 1st video out
Thank alot my friend, I remember watching cabbie videos whilst on the knowledge, gave alot of motivation, keep up the hard work , it’s definatly worth it in the end 👍
Awesome video of a London cabbie's day. Enjoyed it a lot and I look forward to seeing more. All the best :)
Glad you enjoyed it
Great video👍🏻 looking forward to future ones😊
Thank you! 😀
Interesting to be a fly on the wall as it were and see your working day. I have no idea why your video came up as a suggestion on my feed but glad it did. It made a change. Perhaps you could take us on the tour in another video ?.
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 👍
Nice one, keep it coming .
Thanks, will do!
Fascinating watch ( as a yorkshireman) Good to see the good and the not so good of your day. I visit my daughter who lives in North London and get the train from Leeds with my bike. I love the sights, sounds and vibe of London. Good luck with the channel 😃👍🏼
Your very kind Jonathan , thanks for watching
Great production. Of all the taxi videos on you tube This has nailed it well done . 👍
Thank you 👍
Hi mate nice to see another cabbie all unique enjoy your video
Thanks for the upload.....wish you all the very best. I'm looking to do the KOL, could you perhaps do a video on your KOL journey?
Thank you for your nice comments, I have a Knowledge Video in the pipe line, watch this space… also Highly recommend you start the knowledge we need you out there with us 👍
Great video mate. Keep them coming 👍
Thanks, will do!
21000 black cabs licensed in london...that shocked me ..anybody thinking its easy money is mistaken.thanks for the video really enjoyed your honesty and i love cruising through london.i worked there a few times ,bricklaying,its great to see all the buildings an the bustle.look forward to your next installment.
Well done!
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 👍
Just found the channel and its brilliant love that you put the prices up on screen
Glad you enjoy it!
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

Enjoyed the video. Very evident you put a lot of effort into the filming and it’s payed off. Theoretically, could you drive one of the original Austin Fx4s as a licensed taxi? Seeing as most are now considered a historic vehicle and ulez exempt
Thank you for your kind words, , you cant , as each London black cab is only allowed to be licienced for up to 15 years in total
Really enjoyed this, honest day and no fibs about making lots of £ every day, I did black cabs myself for a few years up in Glasgow area and as you said good days and bad days, sometimes really good days where it's job after job, other days you wonder why you bother, but the job itself is brilliant, the flexibility, traveling, meeting new people, hearing their tales etc.
I watch Tom and Marks taxi videos too and they are also great, will definitely be following for more videos 👍👍
Thank you Gary for your Kind comments, trying to be as honest as possible, and as original as possible.
I watch Marks and Tom’s videos too they are so good with there RUclips Videos , theyve also been very helpful to me whenever i needed some advice, 👍
Another question sir. It seems that the steering wheel is on the left and normally it’s on the right
Camera angle thats why
stressful stuff well done
Good luck mate fantastic content be lucky
Thanks very much 👍
It seems that each cabbie with a RUclips channel seems to do a late shift, late morning to late evening. Im curious, do you think it would still be possible to make a decent amount of money working earlies? Say, early morning rush hour until 3 or 4 pm ish?
Hello Jon, to be honest my usual shift is 8-5 and I seem to do well, if i need to put in extra hours i usually work till 7pm, or work the odd weekends, the next video i will be putting out will be a very busy morning shift I did last week , keep tuned 👍
Brilliant answer, thank you!
Very interesting thanks. I hope you get to do the new Euston rank to see how that's going.
I went there last week , didnt like it , as there wasnt enough options entering into the station coming from the west on euston road
Great video 👍🏻
Thanks 👍
Nice video mate. Are we allowed to go through princes st to Cornhill or did you fo it between 7am 7pm ? Bit confused 👍
Any time you can do princes st into cornhill eastbound only
I think that I have had this video suggested to me because I watch Tom Hutley's channel!
as an ex driver of 45 years driving job has'nt changed much except for road works and new hotels and offices and taxi itself enjoyed watching you work...am i mistaken you seem to be back to front in other words you seating on the wrong side????
Thank alot Michael its great to hear from you, no it does seem that way , but its just the way my phone is mounted when i film myself in the taxi , hope its not to off putting to watch 👍
@@Lifeofalondoncabbie If you have the software, you could invert the video
Good video. I would prefer it if the image wasnt flipped though.
Good channel but the choice of music made me turn the volume down inbtween.
How about a bit more heavy metal with a dash of jungle topped with a morris dance
New subscribers here! Will obviously look forward to future videos! And obviously, I'll suggest you reach out to Tom as well for a collaboration!!!
Great honest video Sir , How long did it take you to pass ? and how many hours a week did you put in learning the KOL if you dont mind me asking .
Took me 3 and a half years and I was putting in minimum 8 hours a day
Thank you , it took me 3 & half years with having a job, i was on the knowledge morning day and night, I may put out a video in the near future , of my knowledge journey, and will give hint and tips i used in my journey in becoming a London cabbie
@@Lifeofalondoncabbie Thanks . tbh its the one thing work related i regret not doing . Not liking or feeling safe on Mopeds is what put me off . Still nothing gained as they say . i will still follow your journeys through , good luck out there 👍
@@GlennakaMush-kh1tp you can do it on a car, just remember anything is possible if you put your mind heart and soul in to it depending how bad you want something. Give it a try
Hi there, I like your style, which is somewhat different to the other cabbies on You Tube. I think it’s important to show the job from all perspective, and you seem to approach it in your own individual way, which makes it more entertaining for me. There isn’t a lot of point in replicating exactly what someone else is currently doing, which you most definitely don’t.
I totally agree with you John , thanks for your comment 👍👍
Don’t think I’ve ever had a job from mcliver that don’t go to moorfields or Bart’s 😅
😂😂
Not a cabbie but a very informative video. Good luck to your growth on RUclips
Thank you
Just a quick question sir.How old are you if you do not mind telling me.
39
Awesome
I also was going to say your Driving Seat is on wrong side !!! ... Im surprised you ask every passenger 'Hows Your Day' ... after 25 years the novelty wears off !, me ( and my Other Cabbie Mates ) Never speak to the Passenger, unless they speak 1st !! But its not obligatory, just my preference ... Good Video, but my preference would be to make it shorter, or condense it more say 30 mins Max ...
I disagree, the longer the better. Having said that when do we see the next PoV vid?
I’m the same, always wait for the passenger to speak first. Gives them their privacy
I drove for 35 years and never had to rank up. It would drive me nuts today having to. All the ranks were moving then anyway. Looking at scum like Uber and others would not be an easy task day in day out either.
It wasn’t sunshine and roses every day for 35 years was it 😆
@@russldntaxi 30 yrs out of 35. I caught the last 30. All these lovers that answer you how wonderful you cab drivers are are the first to use scum mini cabs and the first to say how much and which way you going mate. They all love yer, but I guess you'll find that out later on.
Tell us money making in cab
Why don’t you tell us instead how much you make
Great video new subscriber here! More of the same please
Thank you! Will do!
