Do most Taxis give Receipts in London?

I will travel from Heathrow to central London, and was considering taking a taxi. My company will reimburse the taxi cost, however I need a receipt. Is it common to get a receipt after the taxi ride in London or should I explicitly ask the driver before the ride if he will be able to give one? I am not sure about this because in my country most drivers won't give you a receipt.
