metrocab

The other approved model of London "Black cab", constructed of GRP in Tamworth. Favoured by some taxi drivers due to price. Boxy design (looks like a cross between an old volvo and a bus) means nowhere near as famous as the London Taxi. See also plastic pig.

Harringay

Obscure area of north London, between Finsbury Park and Wood Green. Built in late 19th century, home to large Turkish population and (several) students due to low rents. The main street, Green Lanes is the home of the kebab and gun crime. Often confused with Haringey, the London borough which contains Harringay (the area).
