Taxi Advertising in Westminster

The busiest borough on the report. Westminster is where a London taxi campaign spends more of its week than anywhere else, and the borough where we can show you, by daypart and by vehicle, that it actually did.

Why Westminster carries a taxi campaign

Westminster sits in Zone 1, central London, for a simple reason: taxis spend more productive time there than anywhere else in the city.

Where the cabs already are
Taxi advertising is unlike a fixed billboard: you are not buying a site, you are buying the time a working vehicle spends in a place. Westminster is where black cabs naturally accumulate that time. The government quarter, the West End theatres, the Victoria and Charing Cross termini and the hotel trade all generate cab journeys that begin or end inside the borough. You do not have to route a campaign into Westminster; the working day does it for you.
Slow traffic is an advantage here
The thing that makes Westminster difficult to drive through is the thing that makes it valuable to advertise in. Congestion around Parliament Square, Piccadilly and the Strand means a wrapped cab is stationary or crawling in front of dense pedestrian traffic for long stretches: the Zone 1 profile we describe as highest footfall, longest dwell time. A panel that would flash past in outer London is legible for seconds at a time here.
Proven, not projected
Most out-of-home sold as covering Westminster is sold on a modelled estimate. Because the Helix Pay metering platform is already in these cabs, we report the borough from the vehicle's own GPS trail: the hours it was on street, the split by daypart, and which vehicles delivered them. If a campaign underdelivers in Westminster, the report says so.

Your own campaign reports the same way, from the vehicle's GPS trail rather than a model. See the full sample report, or read how pricing works.

Ways to run in Westminster

Westminster is usually the first borough a brief asks for and the easiest to over-promise on. We would rather quote you a realistic share of a campaign's time there and then prove it, than sell you a number nobody ever checks.
