Final green hut which offered Victorian cabbies food and rest gets listed status in London (UK)
Historic green huts which gave Victorian cabbies shelter and a place to eat in London are now all protected buildings, after the final shelter in St John’s Wood was listed.
The cabmen’s shelter on Wellington Place was listed at Grade II and is the last of 13 surviving buildings to be given protected status.
The distinctive green huts offered a place for Victorian cabmen to rest and grab a bite to eat at a time when they were prohibited by law from leaving their horse-drawn carriages unattended.
Built by the Cabmen’s Shelter Fund between 1875 and 1914, fewer than a quarter of the 61 constructed survive today – where they continue to serve modern-day taxi drivers.
