Want to turn more heads than a modern supercar? This iconic London Taxi is available to hire with driver for your special occasion — from photo shoots and retro / period correct TV and film work to promotional campaigns, social media branding, music videos and of course, as a stand-out stylish chauffeured wedding car.

Whatever the event, make it special, stand out and arrive in style. This black cab is a genuine talking point — perfect whether you want a quirky backdrop or a grand entrance.

Welcome to Welsh Black Cab

Take a look around the site to explore the services available, discover the story behind the restoration, and see why this taxi has become such a loved piece of British motoring heritage, known, loved & appreciated by London tourists the world over.

Meet the Owner

I’m David — lifelong classic car enthusiast and proud owner of this iconic London Black Cab. After nearly a decade of on-and-off restoration, she’s finally back on the road and ready to be shared with the community. But this isn’t just an old taxi. It’s a piece of history, full of character and vintage charm.

This is the final model of the legendary Austin FX4, produced from 1958 to 1997 — one of the longest-running British vehicle designs, right up there with the Mini as one of the icons of British motoring heritage.

My mission is simple: bring joy, create memorable experiences, and celebrate British heritage, from attending car shows, local fundraisers to celebrating important moments of national heritage like Remembrance and VE Day.

Areas Covered

I’m based in the Vale of Glamorgan, South Wales, and typically cover locations within around a 30-mile radius of Barry. This includes everywhere from Bridgend to Newport along the coast, and stretches north towards Llantrisant, Pontypridd and Caerphilly, reaching into the valleys and all the surrounding areas in between.

This radius also includes many of South Wales’ most popular and picturesque wedding venues, such as: Hensol Castle, Coed-y-Mwstwr, Canada Lodge & Lake, The Vale Resort, Fonmon Castle, De Courceys Manor, and many more.

If your event falls just outside this area, don’t worry — I can often travel further for special bookings and for TV & film work, extended travel across Wales and beyond is possible upon request.
