Cabman's Shelters

These green, shed-like structures provided essential rest and sustenance for cab drivers, offering a glimpse into the daily life of a bygone era. Only a handful remain, each a Grade II listed monument, providing a unique snapshot of London's social history and a quirky reminder of Victorian innovation.
