Founded fifteen years ago by London taxi drivers, Poppy Cabs provides free journeys for military veterans attending the annual Remembrance Day Service at the Cenotaph in Westminster, London. Inspired by the Royal British Legion's Poppy Appeal, where red poppy badges are exchanged for charitable donations, these dedicated taxi drivers organise themselves under the "Poppy Cabs" initiative. Each year, drivers offer complimentary rides to veterans from major train stations across London, ensuring they arrive safely and punctually for the commemorative event.
