Uncover two millennia of fascinating history and hidden gems.
As a London Cabbie, I have driven nearly 1. 5 million miles around this city. That's three times to the moon and back! You could say I know London pretty well.
This tour allows me to share London's rich and diverse historic past with you, which covers over 2000 years! We'll go from its modest beginnings as a Roman settlement to its rise as a global financial hub and cultural centre.
This and all my tours are are private and flexible, and delivered in a relaxed manner, traveling between sites in my traditional black taxi. Where possible, I'll park up, take a short walk, chat and give a short presentation of the sites. There'll be photo opportunities to make memories!
We'll dig deep into London's DNA to discover the cobbled streets, quaint alleyways and gas lit courtyards surrounded by quintessential shops that have their heritage dating back centuries, yet still retain their individual charm and character.
If there are any specific interests or sites that you want more information on, please let me know!
