Professional chauffeured taxi service across the City of London — the historic Square Mile at the very centre of the capital, and technically distinct from the 32 London boroughs around it, with its own Lord Mayor, Corporation and police force. Home to the Bank of England, St Paul's Cathedral and Leadenhall Market, and by day the working address of over 600,000 people. No surge, no meter, no surcharges. DBS-checked drivers. TfL licensed operator, Licence 11588.
About the City of London
The City of London — the Square Mile, or simply "the City" — is not one of the 32 London boroughs that make up the rest of Greater London. It's a separate, ancient local authority in its own right, governed by the City of London Corporation, headed by the Lord Mayor and based at the Guildhall, with its own dedicated police force distinct from the Metropolitan Police that covers the rest of the capital. Just 1.12 square miles in area, home to around 8,600 residents but well over 600,000 daily workers, it's the historic core from which the whole of modern London grew.
Within that square mile sits an extraordinary concentration of history and finance: St Paul's Cathedral, the Bank of England, the Tower of London on its eastern edge, and modern landmarks like the Gherkin and the Walkie-Talkie rising above medieval street patterns. RushXO runs a dedicated City rota; our drivers know the one-way systems around Bank and Cheapside, and the fastest ways out via the A40, A13 or A102 depending on your destination.
