Thank you for your email received by us on 19 November 2017 asking for information about Transport for London (TfL) licensed private hire drivers with a Cardiff address.

Unfortunately, we do not hold the information you have requested as the data produced is constantly refreshed with updated information, thereby overwriting the old data in the process. Consequently, it cannot be retrieved and backdated for these dates.
However, I can advise that on 29 November 2017, there were 72 London licensed private hire drivers with a Cardiff address.
I can further advise that in June 2017 there were 69 London licensed private hire drivers with a Cardiff address. This information can be located on our website here: https://tfl.gov.uk/cdn/static/cms/documents/taxi-and-private-hire-driver-postcode-data-june-2017.pdf
Please see the attached information sheet for details of your right to appeal.
Yours sincerely
