A taxi is always a taxi, regardless of where it is licensed. |

You will have to pay the congestion charge, however you will be able to use any bus lane that the London black cab trade does.

I regularly go to London and can confirm what Sussex says as long as you are a Hac you can use the bus lanes but you still have to pay the Con charge |
