Unicorn-drawn cabs are taking commuters to work from Canary Wharf DLR today

By: Emma Haslett

It's a pretty miserable day today, but Canary Wharf commuters are about to get a blast of magic, thanks to a carriage which will take them to work – and is drawn by a pair of bonafide (kind of) unicorns.

The "Unicab" is available to workers around Canary Wharf DLR station this morning, and will fit you and three colleagues. It's drawn by a pair of white horses who have pink and purple hooves, rainbow manes and, of course, a multi-coloured horn.

It's part of a promotion by Three and smartphone maker ZTE – and goes on until 11am today. Earlier this week, the Unicab transported commuters around Southwark  and Monument. 

To book your place, just tweet @ThreeUK or email [email protected].

Until then, here are some pictures of a pair of unicorns in the City on Thursday. Because sometimes even the finance sector needs rainbows and sparkles…
