London has been feeling much less festive since the turn of the New Year. It doesn’t help that the sky is grey and the rain has chased away the last of the snow.

If you take a taxi to the Strand, you’ll see that Somerset House has a magnificent ice rink within its eighteenth century courtyard....

When was the last time you had some good old fashioned fun in London? We’re so overwhelmed with new technology, new trends, new fashion and new cocktails; it’s easy to forget how great it can be to do something traditional on a night out, like going to the theatre.

We’re really proud of the Tick Tock Taxi online booking system. There’s nobody quite like us on the market; our website is easy to use and easy on the eye, our prices are competitive and our standards are high. However, like all new companies, we’ve encountered a few hurdles along the way and to be the very best, we still need to make some improvements. We could easily carry on as we are, bringing our customers a good service. But that’s not enough for us: we want to be number 1!

Covent Garden is one of those magical places that is just as popular with Londoners as it is with tourists. Few can resist its charm; the street performers on the square draw crowds, gasps and applause.

With Halloween creeping up on us this weekend, you’ll find that the cinemas packed full of horror movie lovers; many are opting for the gore fest Saw 3D, or the spine chilling Paranormal Activity 2. I don’t know about you, but I’m a scaredy cat: I hate horror films! It’s frightening enough walking down a dark street at night, without filling my head with stellar nightmare material.

This fortnight, the capital is celebrating some of the best films from around the world at London Film Festival.

Is it that time of year again already? Really? It’s hard to believe that in just two months time, Christmas will be upon us. It may be a tad too early to start digging out the tinsel and warbling carols, but there’s no denying that London is now in winter’s grip. Temperatures are a-droppin’, and over-eager mothers are a-shoppin’!

London is a pretty big place. Even if you’ve lived here your whole life, we’re sure there are still some stones left unturned! For those of you who are new to the city, we can’t blame you for getting a bit muddled about directions. It might be easy to get around when you book a London mini cab, but we thought you might want to learn some interesting stuff about the area too.

Even with all the exciting things going on in London, you can still get a bit bored of ‘the norm’ at times. There are only so many wine bars you can go to before they all start to look the same, and live music is great - but not every night of the week!

It doesn’t matter whether you’ve read the ‘Scott Pilgrim’ comic books or not; this film is a fun, exciting watch for teens and adults alike. Starring Juno’s geeky Michael Cera, ‘Scott Pilgrim Vs The World’ tells the story of a young man who must defeat a girl’s seven evil ex boyfriends in order to earn the right to date her. It’s colourful (especially Ramona’s hair!), energetic, funny and sweet - something for everyone.
