The latest pedicab overcharging incident saw Belgian tourist April Argenau charged £464 for a seven-minute ride from Oxford Street to the Royal Lancaster Hotel. Unlike some of the previous incidents, Argenau did look at the amount she was being charged before she paid, but “the driver refused to back down and was intimidating towards her, demanding immediate payment”.
I would have walked inside the hotel, got help from the concierge, and asked them to call the police. No way would I have handed over that amount.
Cheers, Pete.

Yes, it does seem strange, maybe they didn’t realise how much £464 actually was – like you do!
