    Former GB of 26 yrs.
    Amazing to see the road changes in Central London since I left the trade 2016.
    The Magdala pub, where you set down in Hampstead, was where Ruth Ellis, last woman hanged in Britain, shot her lover in 1955.
    Great content and I think you have the right attitude for the job.

      Thank you for taking the time out to leave a comment. I’ve learnt something new today. If the Magdala Features in a future video, I’ll be sure to add that info (thanking you too) glad you liked the video 👍

    New subscriber here. Am enjoying your videos immensely. I used to live and work in London and like seeing some places I know. I haven't driven in London for years and have no plans to - again - 20mph limits, cycle lanes, Congestion Charge, ULEZ etc. I am in awe that you are fearless of driving anywhere in London, but, then again, that is what you do and as a black cab driver you are the most professional of all drivers. I like the little moving map. I am less keen on the background music - I'm happy just to watch the video of you driving through the roads. I'd welcome a video (maybe a Q&A) of how you became a taxi driver, how you got on with The Knowledge (how long it took you etc.), why you rent the cab rather than bought one, what shifts you prefer/avoid etc. No need to stretch things like a few other taxi RUclips content providers do, e.g. reviewing sandwich bars/cafes and shilling products for channel sponsors. I stop watching channels when they get like that. Many thank for your time and trouble in producing your content for our enjoyment.

      Thank you for taking time time out to leave a comment and I’m so glad you’ve subscribed and are enjoying the videos I’ve uploaded. From the feedback I got from my first few videos it seemed the vast majority of viewers (who commented) said the videos needed music. I’m working on a way of uploading videos with music and also without but I have to tread carefully as I’m learning the RUclips algorithm and uploading almost identical videos could cause negative effects to how my channel is shown on recommended pages. I do plan on doing a selection of videos away from POV (although still doing at least one POV video a week) watch this space! I certainly won’t be reviewing food/drink places (I will share why in a video in the future too) although I do have some ideas for videos in and around London. I’ve tried to make my videos as balanced as possible, between the sped up parts and the normal speed parts. Hopefully my videos continue to improve and you continue to enjoy the videos I’m uploading. Thanks again for your kind comments

    Hopefully that run from Heathrow made up for having to wait around beforehand! Big thanks again, Ollie, for taking us along with you. Your videos really are a "must see"! But trying to find that one particular silver Mercedes "somewhere", amongst the hundreds of them there must be in London? Brilliant detective work and "Customer Service" when you finally found it 👍Keep 'em coming! Michael

    • @ALondonCabbie
      @ALondonCabbie  5 месяцев назад

      Thank you Michael. Always appreciate your support and comments with every video. It was the right thing to do, they had been at the hospital all day and was going back early the next day. If I didn’t help I have no idea how they would have found their car. Thanks again 👍

      Thank you Neil. I’m still experimenting on what works and what doesn’t. I’ll certainly be looking at less hectic music in future edits

    how gutting you lost that romford nice heathrow job how you put up with 20 mph everywhere god that would drive me insane lol we used to whiz around them streets in my day lol good video ollie

    • @ALondonCabbie
      @ALondonCabbie  5 месяцев назад

      20mph is fine in the middle of the day but outside of the busy times it’s a nightmare. It causes road users behind to do the most dangerous things (when I’m sticking to the legal limit) and customers thing you’re taking the mick too

    Ah mate nightmare the slow fingers 🤦‍♂️ what sort of time are you usually out working? Looks pretty late sometimes.
    PS another great video

    • @ALondonCabbie
      @ALondonCabbie  5 месяцев назад

      Thank you Jimmy. I like to be home by 1am. I’ve found any later and work gets harder to come by also could potentially fall upon less desirable customers.

    Cracking videos Ollie. Do you ever ask for payment in advance pal

    • @ALondonCabbie
      @ALondonCabbie  5 месяцев назад +1

      Thank you David. I have done, normally I make sure I ask for less then leave the meter on. That way the customer feels like they’ve had a good deal and I’m guaranteed payment 👍
