So, how much does a London cabbie earn? Let’s put it this way: a take-home of £600 to £800 a week after all costs is a solid, realistic goal. That’s around £35,000 a year. Not a fortune, but a living. It’s a job of extremes: one week you feel like a king, the next you’re eating sandwiches from a garage.
Would you do it? You’d need a steel spine, a memory like an elephant, and a love for roundabouts. Next time you hop in one, remember: the person driving isn't just moving you from A to B. They’re a navigating, calculating, debt-surviving legend in a black suit. Tip them well, yeah?
