I'm Graham, your driver-guide, walking-guide and attractions guide: bringing London to life with commentary and chat on my private London tours. I've put together a nice selection of tours to help us explore the best of London: • London Highlights. • London Big Day Out. • Royal London. • Beatles + Rock'n Roll. • London Horror. • Hampton Court Palace. • British Museum. • National Gallery. • Greenwich. • English Countryside. • Jewish History in London. • Black History in London. • Driving tours: in the ideal vehicle for sightseeing - a licensed London taxi. Lots of stops on driving tours and all tours have short walks to get close to the attractions and sights. • Walking tours: always get close to, or inside, the sights and attractions or through the streets of London. • All tours: I'll explain as we explore and I welcome questions from curious clients. Transportation on driving tours: Door-2-Door Service (pick up and drop off anywhere in central London). Meeting locations for walking or attractions tours: always easy to find and some have a pick-up from your hotel (depending on where you're staying). I have been a tour guide since the dawn of the 21st century! and have four guiding qualifications: • City of London • City of Westminster • London Taxi Guide • St Paul's Cathedral. I have a History BA too, so deep background knowledge. And I'm a real licensed London taxi driver, having completed the world famous 'Knowledge of London' in 2000. I'm also a published London historian. My book is 'Guildhall. City of London'. It's a history of one of London's oldest buildings (600+ years). Guildhall is public, free and worth a visit, possibly during one of my London Highlights tours. • My Mercedes Vito London taxi is clean, has air-con and carries up to six passengers. London taxis are fully wheelchair accessible and disability travel-friendly (ramp, hand bars). ---------------------------------------------------- City of London Guide, City of Westminster Guide, London Taxi Tour Guide, St Paul's Cathedral Guide, London Taxi Driver (black cab), History BA. Hons, Published London historian, Associate Member of the Institute of Tourist Guiding . . . and proud Londoner. Only two attractions where I don't have guiding accreditation: Westminster Abbey, Tower of London.

The title of this tour says it all: it's the Beatles'n more rock'n roll tour. We'll visit a certain recording studio (and zebra crossing) in Abbey Road as well as some Beatles homes. We'll see a Beatlesmania film location, and blue and black 'rock'n roll plaques' - unique to London. Upmarket Mayfair is more rock'n roll than expected (it'll leave you in a purple haze). We'll definitely dip into classy St James's and nip into posh Kensington for a rhapsodic stairway to heaven! I never like to give too much away when writing about this tour (promised: you will get satisfaction). It spoils some of the secrets and reveals surprises best seen on the tour. All I can say is, London Calling…You'll wish you were here. This is not a drive-by tour and we cover big distances across central London. Having a driver/walking guide like me conducting your tour in a London taxi is super-efficient and will help to make the day enjoyable and memorable.
Door-2-Door: meet and greet and return to your hotel/accommodation. • Abbey Road Studios & Zebra Crossing. • Paul's house and John's ex-house. • Hard Day's Night to the Apple Studios Shop. • Where John met Yoko. • Scene of THAT legendary roof-top gig. • + record cover shots, weddings, offices and clubs. • + Stones, Hendrix, Bowie, Floyd, Queen, Led Zep, Clash. I'm your driver, and private guide and I'll be explaining as we explore. There are plenty of stops for photo opps. I'll talk as we walk and when we're up close. All walks are very short. Time spent viewing a rock'n roll landmark varies from one or two minutes to a few minutes. We're always close to coffee shops and places for bathroom breaks. This tour as a whole or partially, can be customized to fit your preferences - please inquire!
