In principle, a Taxicard entitles you to subsidised travel by taxi anywhere within London.

There are some variations in the way the Taxicard scheme works in different boroughs.

Local service (Ealing, Enfield, Greenwich, Hackney, Hammersmith & Fulham, Haringey, Harrow, Havering, Hillingdon, Hounslow, Islington, Kensington and Chelsea, Kingston upon Thames, Lambeth, Lewisham, Southwark, Sutton, Tower Hamlets, Waltham Forest, Wandsworth, Westminster, Barking & Dagenham, Barnet, Bexley, Brent, Bromley, Camden, City of London, Croydon, Merton, Newham, Redbridge, Richmond upon Thames).

Taxicard costs
You generally pay a flat fare of £2.50 per trip, plus anything above the subsidised amount. In most boroughs, Taxicard trips are subsidised up to:
£10.30 for trips during the day
£11.30 for trips at weekends
£12.80 for trips at night
For example if you make a journey on a weekday that costs £14.00 on the meter, £10.30 of it would be subsidised.

You can request an application form by phone, e-mail, post or by downloading the application form. To find out which application form you need, use the London Councils website, check the borough map and follow the instructions for your borough.
