London History Tours

Discover the fascinating history of London in the comfort of a classic black taxi

Experience London's Rich History

Join me on a comprehensive tour of London's most iconic historical landmarks and hidden gems. With 10 years as a licensed London taxi driver and 4 years as a dedicated tour guide, I'll share fascinating stories and historical insights that bring the city to life.

Tour Highlights

  • Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament - Learn about British democracy and Gothic Revival architecture
  • Westminster Abbey - Royal coronations and the resting place of monarchs and notable figures
  • Tower of London - Nearly 1,000 years of history, home to the Crown Jewels
  • Tower Bridge - Iconic Victorian engineering marvel
  • Buckingham Palace - The official residence of the British monarch
  • St Paul's Cathedral - Christopher Wren's masterpiece
  • Trafalgar Square - Nelson's Column and National Gallery
  • Hidden historical gems and local stories known only to long-time Londoners

What Makes This Tour Special

Unlike large group tours, this is a personalised experience in an iconic London black taxi. The tour can be customised to your interests and pace, with the comfort of travelling door-to-door without dealing with public transport or walking long distances.

As a licensed London taxi driver, I've completed "The Knowledge" - the world's toughest taxi examination - memorising 25,000 streets and 20,000 landmarks. Combined with my experience as a tour guide, you'll get insider knowledge and fascinating stories you won't find in guidebooks.
