An interesting questions is - did Uber coming on the scene drive that change, or was it already in the pipeline?

So it looks like that came in around 2016 - https://tfl.gov.uk/info-for/media/press-releases/2016/octobe...

I wouldn't be surprised if it was TFL trying to force the black cabs to modernise and compete with uber.

I definitely have taken Uber in London in 2015.

And a year before we had a luxury vehicle ride booked with Uber in London.
