Chicago is getting 24 of the famous London taxis this month. They will have American Express advertising on them, but I don't know if it will just be on the doors like in this picture, or if the entire cab will be covered with their logo.

There is no boot (trunk). Any luggage goes next to the driver because there is no seat next to the driver. Five people can fit comfortably in the back. Three facing forward, and two facing rearward on jumpseats.

They cost more than the Crown Victorias that most taxi companies use, but the London taxis are famous for lasting a long time. Because of this, San Francisco is changing their law that says taxis must be replaced every three years to every seven years if it is a London taxi.
