Cabs Across Bank: One of the unintended consequences of the traffic restrictions at Bank Junction is on the availability of Black Cabs available for public hire.

James led a significant campaign supported by Jennette, Alethea and others to have the restrictions on Black Cabs lifted 24/7/365.  This is due to be implemented on 28 July 2025. This was following feedback from many businesses in Walbrook and surrounding Wards.

Black Cabs are an integral part of London’s public transport system and lifting restrictions is important to improve availability: For accessibility and equality – to provide access everywhere for those with mobility challenges: such as those that are elderly, disabled, pregnant or carrying young children.

• For safety, especially women’s safety – to ensure they are available across London all hours to ensure safety of women or vulnerable users especially at night for those working late or enjoying the night-time economy
• For tourism and hospitality, for a vibrant Destination City – Black Cabs are world-renown for being safe and trusted by visitors to London.
• For businesses, for a competitive City, to support our Vision for Economic Growth  – to support business users who rely on Black Cabs for fast, readily available transport. They are a reason why businesses choose the City and Central London to have offices.
