They are not rare in city centres, which is their natural habitat eg. take a trip into Central London/Westend/City of London etc., you will find them everywhere. Unless, you are talking about the suburbs, where they have always been as rare as hens teeth.

They used to be more common and a higher proportion of the total. Lots have moved into minicab-like firms that add bookings, despatch etc.
