The Worshipful Company of Hackney Carriage Drivers

Founded in 1679, this historic guild supports London’s black cab drivers by preserving tradition, promoting excellence, and giving back to the community.

🎓 They help drivers train for The Knowledge, uphold professional standards, and run inspiring charity work.

🌟 Their flagship event, the Magical Taxi Tour, takes children with serious illnesses on a magical trip to Disneyland Paris—free of charge.

🎖️ The Company also has a proud, long-standing bond with the British Armed Forces, supporting veterans and military charities through fundraising and events.

It’s more than a guild—it’s a London institution with heart and history.
