my advice would be to agree on a fare with the taxi driver before getting in the taxi, otherwise he will rip you off.

This is the water. And this is the well. Drink full and descend. The horse is the white of the eyes and dark within.

If you've never got a taxi before then there's some taxi etiquette that you might not know about. The main one, which normally catches taxi virgins out in a bit or a taxi faux pas, is kissing the taxi driver on the hand before you give him the money. It's generally considered rude not to.
It goes back to the days when cabs were like engineless cars pulled by horses. Feeding the horse and keeping it clean could be a messy job, and it was a polite way to show the driver that you appreciated his attempts at cleanliness. It's a good British tradition which has managed to survive the influx of Eastern European taxi drivers and it's one you should try to keep up.

good advice ben. i'd like to add that the price quoted is infact half what you should pay.you must tip the driver the exact same amount as the price he tells you.if not he could get very angry and take you back to where you started.taking the fare from you first of course.

Costs about £6/£7 to get to old town from Nine Elms so it shouldn't be much at all.
