I love my Mum. She’s my best friend, my councillor, and for many years was my own private taxi service. She’s the lap I’ve cried on, the hands that tickled me until I squealed and the ultimate shopping buddy. I love her for her Sunday roast dinners, her squidgy cuddles and her bed-time sausage rolls (did anyone else do that duvet-tucking-in-caterpillar thing?), and this Sunday is the time to say thank you. Mother’s Day comes but...

When was the last time you went to London Zoo for the day? You don’t have to have children in tow or be one yourself to enjoy it - I can vouch for that! As a full grown, mature(ish) adult, I’m eagerly anticipating my trip to the animal kingdom this weekend. Voted as London’s best tourism experience last year, it’s easy to see why this magical place attracts almost a million visitors annually. The figures...

We’re delighted to see that the sun’s come out for the annual Oxford vs Cambridge boat race this weekend. From 5pm tomorrow (Saturday 26th March), for the 157th year in a row, the two prestigious Universities will challenge each other to a race down the Thames, from Putney to Mortlake. It attracts crowds of around 250,000 so expect the river banks to be rather crowded! It makes for a gorgeous day out then the weather’s...

The team here in the Tick Tock Taxi offices are an enthusiastic bunch. We throw ourselves headfirst (wearing metaphorical safety helmets, of course) into everything we do, making sure we always achieve the best results. Otherwise, we’d sulk - and we don’t want that, do we. As a fairly new company, we’re still bursting with ideas to improve the service offered by Tick Tock Taxi, both to our customers and our partner cab offices. Last week,...

Quite a few Londoners will have been to Bestival before. It’s a wacky, bohemian fancy dress festival held on the Isle of Wight each September. Surely your Mum won’t hear about your shenanigans from there! Of course, it’s also an opportunity to catch some great bands, such as The Cure who are headlining this year. Sadly, 2011’s offering is still quite some way off, but don’t despair. We have some good news for you. The infamous...

The Guinness advert says that good things come to those who wait, but luckily there are only two more days until the St Patrick’s Day celebrations begin. We’ll be digging out our greenest clothes (although the original colour associated with this saint was blue), pinning on our shamrocks and donning daft hats. On 17th March each year, we pay tribute to all things Irish, regardless of whether or not we have any Celtic roots. Any...

Look out, Londoners; we’ll be out and about on the city streets this afternoon! You can’t miss us; we’ll be in bright yellow hooded tops to match our colourful website - now there’s a way to stand out in the crowd! This fine chap is Adam, one of our team here at Tick Tock Taxi. He helps us maintain a relationship with all the partner cab offices around London, which is a really important part of...

This Saturday night, 12 March 2011, Flames and Fortune are hosting one of their now infamous ‘End of the World’ parties. Don’t worry, the world won’t really be blown up by an asteroid (we hope), but that’s the theme of the night; it’s your last night on earth, and this is the party to end all parties. Wear what you’ve never dared, dance till you die and go out with a bang. As in the usual...

Ahh, cupcakes. So small and sweet, so pretty and yummy. We find it hard to resist a good cupcake at the Tick Tock office, so it’s a good job there are some brilliant bakers in London. For a naughty desert or a sugary tea break, these delicious delights always do the trick! For years, I had gone without cupcakes. I saw them as a calorific extravagance, and also found them difficult to eat gracefully. All that...

Thousands of revellers mourned when super club ‘Matter’ closed last year. Brainchild of the creators of Fabric, the club would draw people from all over the country to hear some of the world’s best DJs. Based in the O2 (previously the Millennium Dome, for those of you who have been living under a rock for the last four years), the club was big enough to hold 2,600 people over three floors of dance space. With...
