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.

'Now What?' Sculpture in bronze by John Seward Johnson Jr. (1930-2020), Queen's Gardens, Bromley, sited by Sculpture Placement, Washington D.C.
Seward Johnson became famous for his life-size bronze figurative sculptures found around the world; 'Taxi', close to Blackfriars in Central London, is probably his best known work in the UK
