hackney cabs
Black British taxis
Hackney cabs are licensed taxis that can be hailed on the street, as distinguished from private hire vehicles that must be booked in advance.
The term is most associated with London's iconic black cabs, though it applies broadly to any taxi licensed to pick up passengers without prior arrangement: Hackney cabs lined up outside the station.
