Overview

This is an epic 4 hour Black Taxi Tour.
See up close world famous sights, London's hidden gems and the world famous Abbey Road crossing made famous by the Beatles. All with fun facts and historical stories.

We will stop for photos at all the important spots. I know all the best places for fantastic views. I will gladly be your photographer.

This is a private tour and is done at our own pace.
London is a vast metropolis and many things can be missed out. With me you will travel over 20km to see one end of London to the other taking in many sights that other companies miss. This tour is a combination of my London Highlights, Secret London and Rock n Roll tours. You will see things that are off the beaten path from Tudor Palaces , film locations and ancient London streets. I will show all the tourist sights but much more is included. Come with me as we navigate the streets of London and scratch beneath the surface to see the real London.
