About
Addison Lee is London’s leading private‑hire and courier provider, renowned for its modern fleet and cutting‑edge technology. Founded in 1975, the company today commands a fleet of around 5,000 vehicles, ranging from stylish black cabs to electric hybrids and delivery vans. Riders book trips via a user‑friendly mobile app, website or phone, ensuring instant connectivity to a nationwide network of self‑employed drivers who benefit from flexible zero‑rent arrangements. Addison Lee’s advanced GPS‑tracking and real‑time dispatch system deliver reliable, on‑demand transport to businesses, residents and events across Greater London and beyond. The brand’s commitment to sustainability is evident in its extensive electric vehicle programme and partnership with sustainability initiatives such as the Green500.

The company’s ISO 9002 certification and Investors in People accreditation underscore its focus on quality, safety and driver welfare. From its historic headquarters in W2 London to its expansive reach, Addison Lee continues to set a high bar for private hire experience, combining efficiency, transparency and environmental responsibility. While the company has faced controversy over the years—most notably a 2012 bus‑lane dispute and driver training reforms—it remains resilient and adaptive, continually investing in new technology and fleet upgrades to meet the evolving needs of London’s commuters and businesses.
