Same happened to 4 of us, as wasn’t clear on the app … he left( £8 quid cancellation fee iirc) we got another bigger cab C’est la vie 🙂
 
What's the crack with uber in the Westminster area? Are there standard ones or just the fit posh ones that cost a fortune?

Will be there once or twice a month for work commitments as of October and haven't a clue how to get about. Any tube stations near there that go to King's Cross?

Never used Uber before, but will in London in a fortnight or so with the family, and was wondering if London based SMBers could give me the lowdown. Is it worth using Ubers instead of public transport? There will be 4 of us - am I right in thinking that we will have to order Uber XL (from my limited research). Any advice welcomed.

We were there at the beginning of August and used Uber a few times, canny price etc, although one of the foreign drivers did say I had a canny belly on me like

Getting around central by tube is a piece of piss tbh. Download CityMapper.

In each of the last 4 cab rides I’ve taken, the driver has willingly chosen to racially abuse someone without a prompt

You can get to KX from Westminster in ~20 minutes

You’re never really more than a couple hundred yards from a tube station and the same goes for any location you want to get to.

Just download CityMapper - piece of piss getting around

Best way to get to know London is to walk or take the bus. You'll soon get your bearings. Cheaper too and easier to pop into a pub as you are passing.
