Take the Safer Way Home

If there’s one number that all Londoners should save in their mobiles, it is Cabwise (60835). If you need a taxi home and don’t have the number of a cab firm in the area, simply text 'CAB' to 60835*. You'll immediately get one taxi and two local licensed minicab numbers sent to your mobile.

In order to make best use of the service, text 'CAB' before you are ready to leave (e.g. before last orders). You’ll then have plenty of time to phone for the cab and arrange pickup for when you are ready to head home.

* Text charged at 35p per enquiry plus standard text message rate. Roaming rates apply to overseas networks. Customers on 3 and overseas networks need to enter different information.
