Hi, I'm Antony, a family man with a lovely wife, two grown up boys & two dogs. When I'm not working I enjoy spending time at home with them! "Maybe it's because I am a Londoner, that I love London Town". I have traced my family tree back to 1605 and they, like me, were all from London! Knowing my own history and the roots I have to this city, inspired me to become a licensed London taxi driver, which I have now been for 24 years. During my time as a cabbie I have gained vast knowledge of the iconic sights and streets in London, which I want to share with you. I had my first experience of being a Tour Guide around 10 years ago and instantly felt, 'this is what I'm meant to do', I loved it. Over the years I have perfected my tours to make them as bespoke and tailor made as possible for my guests. I will strive to ensure you have the best time possible on one of my tours! My thirst for history didn't stop at London though: I have since studied about various other places in Britain, such as Kent Castles and villages, Windsor, Bath and Stonehenge. The feedback I have had from guests on these tours has always been positive, referring to a highlight of their trip. A tour in my taxi means comfort and style. I am very proud to drive my guests around in an iconic black taxi which is top of the range, hybrid with a glass panoramic roof. It can accommodate up to 6 guests with 3 seats facing forwards and 3 seats facing backwards on flip down seats. I have a booster seat to use if we have any little ones with us. The cab is fully accessible for wheelchair users too, and fully air conditioned or heated as you can never be sure with the English weather! Being in a taxi also means we can navigate around London a little bit easier with the use of bus lanes and stop in the best places to get great photo opportunities. I am a welcoming and friendly tour guide with a USP of making your tour fun and entertaining. Come along with me and we will have a great adventure with lots of knowledge but also lots of laughter! Licensed London Taxi Driver; having completed the knowledge of London test. Qualified London taxi guide through the Worshipful Company of Hackney Carriage Drivers, accredited by The City University. Member of English Heritage Associate member of Westminster Abbey. Whilst I can accompany you inside some of the historic buildings such as Westminster Abbey, St Paul’s Cathedral, Tower of London and Windsor Castle, I am not a blue badge guide so therefore cannot guide once inside.
