Vintage sterling silver taxi cab charm by Links of London

A Classic in Miniature: The Links of London Sterling Silver Taxi Cab Charm

Among the most beloved pieces from the Links of London charm archive, the Taxi Cab Charm captures an unmistakable symbol of British life — the London black cab — in solid sterling silver. Released under product code 5030.1211, this charm embodies the energy of the capital and the brand’s devotion to detailed design.

Design Details

This charm is sculpted in three dimensions to reflect the instantly recognisable silhouette of a London taxi. Compact yet weighty in style, it’s cast in solid sterling silver with hallmarking that confirms its 2007 vintage. The body is uncoloured — unlike other enamelled models — allowing the clean polish and shape to speak for itself.

  • Length: 15mm
  • Height: 12mm
  • Width: 7mm
  • Bail: 9x7mm oval — fits bracelets or necklaces up to 5mm
  • Hallmarks: “LL” and “925”, dated 2007
  • Product Code: 5030.1211

Each piece was originally sold with a split ring for easy attachment to Sweetie bracelets — though it also looks equally at home on a charm necklace or travel-themed bangle.

A Note on Variants

It’s worth noting that some sellers confuse this British taxi charm with a separate yellow enamel “NYC taxi” model — a different Links of London charm altogether. The version seen here is entirely silver, representing the traditional London black cab in form, not colour. This distinction is important for collectors and fans of the brand.

Charm with Character

In many ways, this piece represents what made Links of London such a powerful name in personalised jewellery — celebrating not just moments but places. The London taxi is more than transport; it’s a cultural reference, a nostalgic symbol, and a tiny reminder of one of the world’s great cities.

Restored and Archive-Ready

This particular piece has been professionally cleaned, polished, and restored, maintaining its crisp detailing and shine. It joins the Links London Design Archive as one of the brand’s best-executed novelty-style charms — fun but faithful to its subject matter, and still highly wearable years later.

Small in size. Big in Britishness.
