Hundreds of London black cabs lined Westminster Bridge again today, waiting to take veterans home from the Cenotaph without charging a penny.
The service, now called Cabs for Veterans after running for years as Poppy Cabs, began in 2009 with fifteen taxis parked on the bridge, marking the eleventh hour while they waited for veterans coming off the trains. The drivers had realised something nobody had thought much about: every London black cab is wheelchair accessible, and for a lot of veterans that is the difference between attending and staying at home.
Seventeen years on it runs to over a thousand free journeys, most of them packed into about two hours either side of the service. Drivers meet veterans at the mainline stations, take them to Whitehall, then wait and take them back again. The whole thing is funded by the cabbies themselves, time, fuel and all, often with family and friends along to help.
As one organiser put it, there is no more moving sight than standing on Westminster Bridge as Big Ben strikes eleven and seeing hundreds of black cabs lined up in silence.

A woman orders an Uber Black after a night out. The car arrives, everything looks right, and she gets in. A few minutes later, a police officer knocks on the driver’s window and asks him to show his app. Instead of cooperating, the driver locks the doors and rolls up the windows; with her still in the back seat.
Her heart starts racing. She quietly starts recording on her phone and firmly tells him to follow the officer’s instructions. The driver turns to her and says, “Tell them you got in the car by mistake.” She agrees; but only if he unlocks the doors.
More police units arrive. After a tense few minutes, he finally unlocks the car and she gets out. Officers ask to see her app. The name and photo on her phone don’t match the driver. They tell her this is happening more often; people using or buying Uber accounts because they can’t pass background checks, don’t have a license, or aren’t safe to drive.
This situation could have gone very differently. Matching the car isn’t enough; always verify the driver’s name and photo before getting in. And if something feels off, trust that instinct immediately. Safety isn’t about being polite; it’s about being aware and ready to act.
Do you always double-check your ride details before getting in, or would you assume the car is safe if everything “looks right”?

Police have released an image of a man they want to talk to after a woman was sexually assaulted on a Tube train in central London.
British Transport Police said a man sat next to the woman and sexually assaulted her, and when she twice moved seats to get away from him, he followed her both times before sitting next to her once more.

Do you recognise this man?
@BTP detectives investigating a sexual assault at Liverpool Street Underground Station believe the man in this image may have information that could help with their investigation.
