Pedicabs have been operating in central London for a few years; you see them most often around the West End. Quite often there'll be a few waiting around for customers at the entrance to Leicester Square and Covent Garden opposite the Tube station. Remember, you should ALWAYS agree a price before taking a ride.
Earle writes: I asked one of their drivers, on a whim, what it would cost to take me to where I live (Notting Hill Gate) from there and he told me it would be �20. Quite steep. Still, pootling along in a pedicab might be fun if you're feeling flush.
