See, when me and my friend went to London, we had to get taxis because we didn't know the city well enough to know step free stations, and Euston isn't one apparently...

Are you in London? If so does your borough offer the London Taxicard scheme?

We use ours loads for DD1 when tubes/transport is inaccesible.

I think London should offer like a tourist's taxicard. You bring proof of disability, they issue you a card for the day/two days/week/however long you're there. If they charged say £5 they could make a bit off them, I know we'd have used one!

As a resident you only get 60 journeys per year, up to £11.80 each journey, of which the card holder pays £1.50!
