Fun Facts

Black Cabs vs Mini Cabs

In London there are two different kinds of taxi cabs. The most famous are the black cabs and the others are minicabs. Mini cabs are just people with cars that work through an agency. While a minicab may cost less, they are not required to be licensed, and are not required to pass 'the knowledge' which proves they know their way around the city.

Black Pudding

British black pudding is a dark sausage stuffed with pig's blood seasoned and cooked with fillers such as pork fat and oatmeal or barley. It is traditionally served as part of a full breakfast, but it has become popular as a fried item in fish-and-chip shops.
