One of London's most unique charity events takes place each year when a convoy of licensed London taxis take over 200 children, suffering from a range of chronic debilitating illnesses and life limiting conditions, on a three-day trip of a lifetime to Disneyland Resort Paris. This Magical Taxi Tour has brought moments of great joy and happiness to sick children. This amazing convoy, can be over three miles long when running and consists of 90 plus taxis, City of London Police escorts, Gendarmerie Nationale, London Ambulance NHS Trust vehicles and AA breakdown trucks.
Organised by the Worshipful Company of Hackney Carriage Drivers, the event is only possible with the help of sponsors who generously give towards the expenses of hotel, fuel, food, admission charges etc. The taxi drivers naturally give freely of their time and use of their vehicles. 500 of these taxis have been donated by Oxford Diecast to the charity - along with a gift donation.
