“Hey, British taxi driver, take us to the best fish and chips shop in this part of London!”
Will another taxi consultation result in another delicious meal?
When traveling abroad, you mostly want to eat like the locals do, and when you want the opinion of a local, who better to ask than a taxi driver, who knows every inch of the city you’re visiting?
That’s what we always try to do when visiting someplace new, with success in Singapore, Croatia, and Thailand (as well as Japan). Our Japanese-language reporter and world traveler Ikuna Kamezawa recently continued the tradition in London. Though everything was quite expensive there and Ikuna had to tighten the belt on most aspects of her trip, the one thing she allowed herself to spend money on was food. Nutrition is important, after all!
And if there’s one world-famous food from the U.K., it’s fish and chips, so Ikuna decided to ask a taxi driver to take her to the best one in the vicinity. The taxi she selected was one of London’s famous black cabs, also called hackney carriages, which are known for their distinctive, old-fashioned design (and, of course, for being painted black). Apparently, to become a black cab driver, you have to pass the hardest taxi test in the world, so Ikuna assumed the service would be top notch.
