The Mayor of London, Boris Johnson, is among those call for powers to regulate rickshaws after footage emerged of foreign tourists apparently being charged £206.

The YouTube footage showed the rickshaw driver admitting he had charged the family after taking them less than a mile from Oxford Circus to Marble Arch.

Two police officers are also shown telling the driver on Wednesday he was "ripping off" tourists.

However, the driver is not thought to have broken any laws.

BBC London's Transport Correspondent Tom Edwards spoke to Conservative councillor Richard Beddoe, from Westminster City Council, and Steve McNamara, from the Licensed Taxi Drivers Association.
