Hi, I'm Jamie — a born-and-bred Londoner, raised in Bermondsey and proud to call myself a true Cockney. As a kid I worked the market stalls selling fruit and veg — a proper Cockney Barrow Boy. I spent much of my childhood in Kent, the beautiful Garden of England, and fell so deeply in love with the place that I moved there about eight years ago and haven't looked back. After school I trained as an Audio-Visual Technician, which sparked a lifelong passion for photography, videography, and audio production. That curiosity eventually led me to host my own podcast for over 13 years and launch my own YouTube channel. My love of history was ignited on a school trip to Hampton Court Palace and has never gone out. I passed the legendary Knowledge of London in 1991 and have been a licensed Black Cab driver ever since. In 1999 I qualified as an accredited London Taxi Tour Guide, and I've spent every year since deepening my knowledge of London, Kent, and the wider south of England. I genuinely believe every day is a school day. The tours I offer are unlike anything else. Fun, relaxed, and packed with stories, anecdotes, and photo opportunities — they're built around you. Whether your heart is set on London's iconic landmarks, the sweeping White Cliffs of Dover, Canterbury's ancient streets, the mystery of Stonehenge, the elegance of Bath, the dreaming spires of Oxford, or the honey-stone villages of the Cotswolds, I'll make it memorable. I'm flexible, knowledgeable, and genuinely love what I do. Shore excursions, airport layovers, private transfers — whatever your situation, I'll plan everything so you can simply sit back and enjoy. Beyond tours, I'm also available for a full range of transfers. Whether you need a reliable Airport Transfer to or from any London airport, a Cruise Transfer to or from the major UK ports, or a Theatre Transfer to arrive at the West End in style and be collected afterwards, I'll get you there comfortably and on time — every time. No rushing, no stress, just a smooth, enjoyable journey in a premium London Taxi. Our carriage is a brand-new electric London Taxi, complete with a panoramic glass roof, seating for up to six passengers, full air conditioning, free Wi-Fi, USB charging ports, and complimentary water and snacks. I'm an active member of the Worshipful Company of Hackney Carriage Drivers, a Freeman of the City of London, and a member of English Heritage, the National Trust, Historic Royal Palaces, and the London Historians. Since 2000 I've proudly participated in the Children's Magical Taxi Tour to Disneyland Paris — a convoy of around 100 taxi drivers, police, paramedics, and support staff giving children with serious and life-threatening illnesses the trip of a lifetime. I also have a personality — which, I'm told, helps.

Overview of your Dover tour

Join me for an exciting private tour of Leeds Castle, described as "The Most Beautiful Castle in the World" Set in 500 acres of Kentish parkland in the heart of the Garden of England, Leeds Castle was a Norman stronghold in the 11th Century; then the private property of six of England’s medieval queens; a palace transformed by Henry VIII in 1519 for his first wife Catherine of Aragon; a Jacobean country house; a Georgian mansion; and purchased in 1926 by an American Heiress Lady Baillie who turned it into an elegant early 20th century retreat for the influential and famous; and in the 21st century, it has become one of the most visited historic buildings in Britain. Leeds Castle has so much to offer from the Castle to the extensive grounds, the lakes, falconry displays restaurants and cafes and also plenty to keep the children entertained.
