After an awesome night out in London my cousin, her friends and I couldn't seem to find a way home from Central London. Since we stayed at a hostel near King's Cross Station we needed to take a cab to get home since the tubes were already closed by midnight. After looking for half an hour, exhausted from dancing to R&B music in high heels 4 hours in a row, 'Penthouse' 7th floor Leicester Square, really cool place, you'll like it!, we were desperate to find a cab driver who would actually take us out of Zone In and into Zone Less Popular aka Cab-Less Stupid Zone! Reminds me of SATC when they discuss whether Miranda should or shouldn't live in Brooklyn because the freaking taxis don't even go there! And King's Cross is not even in Zone 2 - it's in Zone 1! Anyway, (I'll try to behave now) at that point Christina's feet were so sore that she actually took off her high heels and walked bear foot on the streets around Piccadilly Circus! Do not take this as an advise. Because it's not a good idea if you're walking around Soho in the beginning of December at 3am! Just saying... 

When we walked to a bus stop to check whether any buses drove towards King's Cross (of course none of them did!) a couple of bicycle drivers yelled at us and offered to drive us to the hostel. Apparently they'd heard our frustration... We had been surrounded by bicycle taxis all night but didn't realize that they would actually go all the way to King's Cross when the taxis wouldn't! So we quickly agreed on a price, took each of our "cabs" (since there was only room for 2 in 1), paid 10 quid each, got to see Oxford Street and all the beautiful Xmas decorations, the loads of people clubbing or pubbing and most importantly we got home safe after only 25-30 minutes drive. I will however recommend you to wear more clothes than me and my cousin did if you decide to take a bicycle taxi in the beginning of the December lol! Anyway, great night out♥
