I have no data, but my prior based on conversations in London is "no way". Uber pays similarly to minicabs --- minimum wage-ish when car maintenance is accounted for. Pre-Uber, I heard cabbies made £40k-£60k pretty steadily.

£50k is more than 90% of the country, its no wonder they hate the competiton.

(I suspect they make £60k but they don't declare anywhere near that)
