Uber London

Uber says its practices have been used for decades by private hire vehicles known as minicabs, which cannot be hailed in the street like traditional taxis

Around 3.5 million passengers and 40,000 drivers use the Uber app in London

Uber was first warned early in the year when it was given a short-term license extension rather than the full five years

The Sunday Times also quoted sources close to London's transport body as saying the move was encouraging and suggested the possibility of talks

The campaign on the website Change.org asks London Mayor Sadiq Khan to reverse the decision

Safety reasons cited for the decision; Uber has the right to appeal the decision within 21 days
