Taxi! is another of John Seward Johnson Jr.'s sculptures. Commissioned by The Chemical Bank Corp and cast in 1983, it was originally located in New York and moved to London in 2014, sited outside the JP Morgan Offices close to Blackfriars... in a pedestrian and cycle thoroughfare!
Like the Bromley statue, Taxi! was once painted in bright colours, now weathered so only traces remain.

Iron Bones
I nearly walked straight past it. You’re on the South Bank, dodging cyclists, and there’s this railway bridge overhead that most people treat as a ceiling to hurry under. But look up and the underside of Blackfriars Railway Bridge is a riot of riveted iron girders fanning out like the ribs of some enormous mechanical whale. I switched to black and white because the colour version was fighting the composition; stripping it back let the geometry do the talking.
