£15 Addison Lee sign-up code

As it desperately tries to stay relevant in the age of Uber, Addison Lee is offering £15 off your first ride in London if you download their app and take a ride this month.

You need to enter code WELCOME15 into the app. Your ride must cost £10 or more and you must choose to pay by credit or debit card, not cash.

To promote its hotel, which faces the pitch, it has set up four pitch side beds, including room service and private bar. If you can’t imagine what that looks like, try:
