There’s a sweet charm to Leong Po Chih’s 1986 mystery-comedy Ping Pong, set in and around the restaurant businesses of London’s Chinatown, now rereleased. It was produced by Film Four, who two years later brought out Mike Newell’s comparably set Soursweet, based on the Timothy Mo novel, although that is more serious. Ping Pong is eminently likable, though for me there is something perhaps a little soft-edged and carefully paced which dampens the energy a bit. It is a cheerfully far-fetched caper that could have taken some…

“It was like joining a club,” says the director John Waters. “A very secret club, like a biker gang or something. It’s like they were a country club for criminals and lunatics and people that were high.”As celebrated by Jane Giles and Ali Catterall’s new documentary, Scala!!! Or, The Incredibly Strange Rise of the World’s Wildest Cinema and How it Influenced a Mixed-Up Generation of Weirdos and Misfits, London’s Scala cinema was all this and more. An early taste of the building’s capacity to embed itself in potent…

As well as the awards already won by Andrew Haigh’s All of Us Strangers, it can lay claim to a less-obvious prize – the first feature film both set and filmed in Croydon.Haigh shot much of the film in and around his old childhood home in Sanderstead, a pleasant leafy suburb to the south of Croydon, where I too grew up, eight doors down from Haigh. Andrew Scott’s character, Adam, and his parents (Claire Foy and Jamie Bell) are also shown visiting the shopping centre at the heart of the south London town.Haigh has chosen to…

If you’re in London and looking to hail one of its legendary black taxis, there’s a good chance you’ll get an emissions-free ride. Half of London’s fleet of 15,000 black cabs are now all-electric vehicles. And starting next year, you can Uber one too – a huge coup for a company once banned in London and loathed by taxi drivers all the world. A new announcement from manufacturer LEVC and Transport for London (TfL) says that 50% of London’s black taxis are now battery electric vehicles, with most…

Of the 14,690 licensed taxis in the capital, 7,972 are battery electric vehicles (BEVs), with most manufactured by Geely's LEVC, according to the latest figures. The number of those models grew a fairly dramatic 10 percent in the last month alone."Reaching this milestone is a great reflection of how London is working hard to be a greener, more sustainable, environmentally friendly city,"…

Starting early next year, commuters in London will be able to hail the capital’s iconic black cabs via Uber, the American ride-hailing giant has announced.   London’s black taxi drivers — famous for their uncanny knowledge of the city’s thousands of streets — have long been at odds with Uber, who they say threatens their livelihoods. Frustrated drivers even blocked London streets in 2014 in protest against the tech company’s famously aggressive expansion tactics, and relations still remain…

Uber has secured another win over the struggling taxi industry. Soon, riders in London will be able to hail an iconic black cab in the city. London cabbies can now start signing up for Uber trip referrals, but the service won’t roll out until early 2024. Uber says some drivers have already begun showing interest in being listed on the app. Uber has been steadily making deals with taxi fleet owners in a move to bring the traditional cab industry onto its app. The ride-hail giant recently signed…
