What does that matter.... as long as they are registered somewhere then they can legally work in London.

Am seeing lots of empty Black cabs..... which always makes me happy.

Are you saying an Uber from any other city can take jobs in London?

Where can this be confirmed?

Yes, I thought it was well known.... no different from a London black cab taking a fare to say Woking could then pick up a fare in Woking back to London without having to be licensed in Woking.

I know it’s very trendy to be !!!!!in’ about Uber but minicabs have been doing it for years.
