A few weeks ago, Taxi Leaks posted a video of a Taxi driver showing commendable patience, while being insulted and verbally abused by an irate minicab driver, illegally parked on the Taxi rank outside Stringfellows Club, Upper St Martin Lane.
The Taxi driver involved, now goes out of his way to regularly service this rank. The abuse and intimidation he has had to endure from both door staff and minicab drivers is unacceptable.
Complaints have been lodged with both Police and TfL, but so far, nothing has been done.
Below is the doorman at Peter Stringfellows trying to intimidate our driver, after he got a police woman to move a minicab obstructing him accessing the rank.
Below is another irate minicab driver trying to obstruct the Taxi driver using the rank outside Stringfellows.
This type of behaviour from door staff and minicab drivers at these licensed premises is totally unacceptable. These complaints need to be investigated thoroughly by both police and TfL.
