London has over 2000 years of history. It has survived disease, fire and war. It has Roman walls, Norman towers, Tudor palaces, Renaissance splendour, Georgian elegance, Victorian grandeur, beautiful green spaces and breathtaking modern structures. London cannot be tamed. All you can do is revel in its richness and enjoy the adventure. My name is Paul and I'm lucky enough to live and work in this fabulous city. I have always appreciated the history and culture and there is nothing more I love than sharing it with people from all over the world. I am a licensed London Taxi driver having completed the famous 'Knowledge of London' in 2010. Since then I have become a qualified Taxi tour guide. Not only do my guests get to see and learn about the rich history of the main sites, we will also go off the beaten track and discover some of the lesser known parts of the city. Travelling in an iconic London Taxi is the best and most elegant way of meandering through the ancient streets of London. It allows us to use your time wisely. We can use the bus lanes to avoid traffic jams and park up and explore the sites in more detail. My fully air conditioned Taxi also has USB charging points so don't forget your charging cables. Whether you are interested in The Romans, The Royals or The Beatles, my passion and knowledge will provide you with a fun, informative and engaging tour. Completed the ‘Knowledge of London’ 2010 to become a licensed London Taxi Driver. Became a qualified Taxi tour guide (accredited by the City University) 2016. Member of Historic Royal Palaces. Member of London Historians. I am not a Blue Badge Guide which means that although I can accompany you inside the Tower of London, St. Paul’s Cathedral and Westminster Abbey, I cannot guide inside these historical monuments.

    We had a truly wonderful experience with Paul Williams from Tours by Locals. He was extremely informative, easy to listen to, and his warm personality made the entire day even more enjoyable. Paul set a perfect pace for our group, allowing us to take everything in without ever feeling rushed. It was a lovely day from start to finish, and we have nothing but praise for...

    Paul certainly exceeded our expectations. He was a wealth of information that was new to us (not always easy, when you have to out-do some die-hard Beatle fans) as well as elaborating on that which we knew (or thought we knew!) . He maneuvered us around the streets of London with ease, always found great spots for pictures and info breaks and inserted some personal...

    Paul was a great tour guide. He is so knowledgeable about the Beatles history, and we learned so much about their time in London. Paul was on time and very kind. We would highly recommend him. Josie and Mark
