Overview

London's famous landmarks look great lit up at night, and seeing them from the comfort of your own black taxi is a lovely way to spend an evening.

Choose a 3 or 4-hour London by Night Taxi Tour in one of our electric black taxis, with a guaranteed panoramic glass roof and room for up to six guests.

Your expert London taxi tour guide will share stories and local knowledge as you explore places such as Big Ben, Buckingham Palace, Trafalgar Square, St Paul's Cathedral and Tower Bridge.

Fancy stopping for a photo, a coffee or even a quick pint in a London pub? We can work that in too!

The best part is that it's your tour, your way.

The landmarks listed are suggestions, not a fixed itinerary. You can choose where you'd like to stop for photos, spend a little time enjoying the views or simply drive past. Your guide will shape the evening around your interests, the time available and traffic on the night.

  • Your Taxi Tour Guide will pick you up from your London hotel or any other central London location that suits you. We will send you a SMS text to let you know your Taxi Tour Guide has arrived.
