Bull shit , you can ask a black cab any club , restaurant, landmark and he take you straight there , if there’s a traffic tram on route , the cab driver will find the shortest route around the traffic hold up , if you forgot the name of the road or street, but named a block of flats , pub, restaurant etc , 9 times of 10 the cab driver will know what street you want , plus you can have a good old chin wag with a black driver , not with Uber drivers that can’t speak a word of English ,
