Guide #57572
Hi, my name is Tom and I am a proud Londoner. I was born and grew up in Camden Town, the product of Irish parents who arrived in the 1950s. I am a family man and have both children and grandchildren. My hobbies include walking and reading, usually about history, and I am interested in all sport but particularly football. I completed the world famous 'Knowledge of London' and qualified as a Professional London Black Cab Driver back in 1999. For me, London is an ongoing love affair and I am constantly seeking to extend my knowledge. I qualified as a London Taxi Tour Guide with the Worshipful Company of Hackney Carriage Drivers in 2018, and I have recently graduated as a Clerkenwell and Islington Tour Guide as well. I consider it a privilege to show you my city which has over 2000 years of history, and I can offer you a tour adapted entirely to your interests. We can take in any or all of the classics but you may prefer to explore a little off the beaten track and see some of the rarely visited but no less interesting places. The perfect way to achieve this is a combination of London taxi and walking; I offer both. And there is no need to feel guilty about riding around in my completely electric, eco-friendly taxi with seating for five guests. Most guests say that my tours are good fun, and I know you will take away some interesting facts, you may even pick up some cockney slang - hope to see you soon!

However, I can accompany you on your visit.

Thomas is an incredible guide. He knew an extraordinary amount of history and local facts. We see more in 6 hours than we would have seen in a week on our own. The tours are absolutely worth the price. Thomas catered to our 12 and 8 year old and had water for them. He took us through Westminster Abbey and he was able to keep their interest the entire visit. I highly...
Thomas is exactly the kind of guide that makes a trip memorable! He was proactive overseeing our every comfort from sun protection, to appropriate footwear. He made sure that we got experience and see everything we asked for and more.
My daughter and I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of the tour that Thomas took us on. We were in town for 1 full day and I told him I wanted to see "all of the things" and he delivered. We provided a list and he added to it with items that weren't typical tourist destinations, which added a lot to the experience. He was extremely personable and friendly and was willing...
