Since or so years pedicabs have been operating in central London; 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 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 a person. Quite steep. Still, pootling along in a pedicab might be fun if you're feeling flush.
There are around five to ten companies operating pedicabs in London. Between them there are 200 or so pedicabs in use.
- BugBugs
- Chariot Bikes
- London Pedicabs
- The London Association of Rickshaw Drivers has general information about pedicabs in London.
Chariot Bikes' prices start at £2 per person. Some riders/companies are more reasonably priced than others; Chariot riders use a pricing guide for fairness and consistency and will agree a price at the beginning of the ride.
If you had fun, which you will, don't forget to tip the rider!
