Those who reside in London boroughs and receive the higher rate of mobility or are registered blind/severely sight impaired or receive a war pension's mobility component, can apply for a London taxi card. This allows you to use licensed black cabs at a reduced rate. You only pay £1.50 for fares up to £11.00 or thereabouts. The borough pays the next £10.30. If the fare exceeds this, you pay the remainder after the £10.30 is taken off. Each person is allowed 108 trips per year and all trips must start and end in the London boroughs. I wish I lived in London! :j

We went to an event at the above at the weekend and no disabled/carer prices were shown, just child and OAP consessions but we asked for our usual, one disabled, one carer and one child and we only paid £9 when adult prices were £10 each and children £3 or £4 pounds (if no concessions a family ticket was £20)
We always use the same words when we buy tickets and its failed only once, I am visably disabled and if they dont know what to charge they usually just pick a low price from thin air (thats what I thought on sunday)
The showground has good disabled facilities indoors (good loos, good flooring, seats etc.) but out doors there is a gentle incline that I wouldnt have wanted to climb back up but I can only give a wheelchair users opinion.0 -
In London, you can also be exempt of the congestion charge, if you have a blue badge. You need to pay a £10 registration fee but after that you are exempt.
Here are the details
I don't think you have to reside in London, so even if you only go through london a few times a year it might still be cheaper if you registerFeb GC: £200 Spent: £190.790 -

I've just found out I can get a registration card from my council. Whilst it doesn't do anything in itself, it means I can wave it at people who think I'm too young to have arthritisMurphy's No More Pies Club #209

Photocopy your blue badge (both sides) then show this. If they query it tell them the original is displayed in the car outside/nearby in the car park & that you are willing to go with them & show them if they like. As if any cashier is going to walk to go check when you have photocopies in your hand.
Always works for us.
Actually thats a really brilliant idea, hope you don't think I'm going to be cheeky if I borrrow it. xxxx rip dad... we had our ups and downs but we’re always be family xx0
