My normal driver just called me to say that his car was in the shop and he won't be able to pick me up tomoorrow.
Does anyone have a reasonable car service in London? I'm heading from LHR to Tower Bridge, and normally pay around £40 for the journey.
Thanks in advance.

LHR-almost anywhere in London
I use a great car service called Courts of London. Talk to a guy named Ian.
44-208-501-5000
Not sure of the cost, but very nice company.

Thanks everyone for the suggestion. In the end, I decided to use Addison Lee (http://www.addisonlee.com) who will do the journey for around £42. For those of you who are unfamiliar with Addison Lee, they're the largest minicab firm in London, are fully licensed, and typically provide high quality vehicles. They use Fiat minivans as their standard "taxi".
They're a good number to have, as they pick-up and drop-off nearly anywhere in London, and are far more reliable than your average minicab.

I use Embassy Group. 020 7263 3636
Under £25 for a car from LHR to Bloomsbury, Under £35 for a 'people mover' (7 pass van) for 4 people and a ton of luggage.
Last year, the driver waited 3 1/2 hrs for £20 wait time while BA figured out how to take our luggage off a plane in an inch of snow.
