My favourite cab celeb claim to fame is waiting for a cab in the lobby of a restaurant (Bibendum on Sloane Street) with none other than Tom Jones. Lovely chap, we exchanged pleasantries before he went on his way.
I did 30 years in the game. Had lots of celebrities. Paul mccartney, Dustin Hoffman, Ricky Gervais, Adam ant, Alice Cooper, brit ekland , suggs, . Loads and loads. Paul mccartney was my favourite I had a nice chat with him
I picked up John Challis ( boycie) , Paddington to Brompton road, l said I'm going to cut through the park & he said "cut through it or drive through it, I don't mind " 😂 The funny thing is, he sounds exactly the same as his character 🍻
One of my faves was Cecil Parkinson, not a Tory supporter but he was really engaging and I had a good long chat with him. Stephen Fry was a really nice bloke and Jonathan Pryce happy to speak about his career. Took George Michael home to Highgate, very quiet I wanted to respect his privacy and I tried to engage with Lenny Henry but he wasn't having it!
Great video Mark - my most famous passenger was Maisie Williams (her most famous role was Arya Stark in Game of Thrones) Marylebone to Highbury Fields. A family member of mine works as a cabbie in the Surrey area and once picked up N'Golo Kante and took him to Chelsea Training Ground in Cobham Surrey.
I do like spotting celebrities. I sometimes see them on the tube, last time I saw a well known journalist coming down the escalator as I was going up, so no chance of speaking to them on that occasion!
I worked as an official Wimbledon tennis driver during the Federer / Nadal era including the iconic 2008 mens final and picked up many famous players during this time
An amazing episode. I'm a London BusDriver for over 25 years, and have total respect for our Black Cab drivers. Always professional and knowledgeable. And they don't use Sat Navs like you know who uses. I always use the cabs as they are the safest way to get around London.
Great video! By the way...if you take a taxi someplace in London and really like your driver, is it possible to contact / request them for future rides as well?
I knew of course Gregory Peck, Michael Caine, Tony Bennett... the British celebs were unknown to me. I've met a few in my day... some more pleasant than others - Nancy Reagan, Princess Anne, Richard Simmons, Mr T, Bob Hope, Sid Ceasar.
Hi Mark I love your videos they are super professional and the content is great. Would you like to appear on the WizAnn Podcast sometime in the future and talk about the trade and your experiences? I would love to have you as a guest Best Wishes Dean
Hello dear, I visited your TH-cam Channel. And your content is so good. But your video SEO score is very low. Also, you need to optimize your video properly.

Go on Lawrence!
