Black Cab Interviews
The "Black Cab Interviews" are a series of interviews where we take celebrated individuals from the creative sector on a cab ride around London, some to work, some on their way to a pitch, some just on a little jaunt around this fabulous city. The interviews are intended to be indepth and candid, giving the interviewee a place to talk about the industry, themselves and the place they work.
