The big smoke, the great wen—call it what you will: London has been a major metropolis for two millennia now. Every year, millions of tourists visit London, looking to experience what the UK's largest city has to offer. And L-Town doesn't disappoint: be it history galore (the London Stone, located in central London on Cannon Street, is said to be the stone from which King Arthur drew the sword), magnificent architecture, gardens and sites (Kew Gardens is breathtaking at this time of year), music, theatre and art (too much to try and sum up) or full-on Brit culture (tea! crumpets! scones!), visitors are sure to get their fill when in London.
...Except for when it comes to finding a taxi when you're standing in the drizzling rain at 2AM after all the pubs have closed. Just try haling a taxi car when you most need one, go on, I dare you!
I was recently in London and let me tell you that I speak from experience when I say that sometimes looking for a free taxi in central London is like trying to find a needle in a haystack.
Fortunately, some of my London based friends suggested I use Get Taxi, an app that allows users to order taxis online or using their smartphones. More details after the jump.
