How would you like to take a trip in my time machine!? Would you like to see two thousand years of history of London from the Romans right up to the present day? I can show you around this amazing city that I was born and brought up in. You will hear about poets and playwrights, Lords and Ladies, politicians and Prime Ministers, Princes, Princesses, Kings and Queens, some with their heads and some without their heads. . . all of this is possible, and so much more! If you're interested in the history of Rock'n'Roll in London, why not go back to the Swinging Sixties with me, and then on to the seventies, eighties or nineties, and back to the present day? The vehicle I use to take my guests on a time-travelling journey is actually a London black cab. These iconic taxis are loved and trusted by London's travelling public and are regularly voted the best in the world. They are a great way of seeing the sights, and are air-conditioned with plenty of leg room. They are also wheelchair-accessible. I have been a London taxi driver since 2006 and a qualified Tour Guide since 2011 - just in time for the London Olympics of 2012, which was a magical time for all of us that experienced it. I love my hometown of London dearly, and nothing gives me more pleasure than to show visitors around what is arguably the world's greatest capital city! But my knowledge of history isn't bound by the borders of London, not by a long stretch. I have been taking my guests for many years to wonderful places such as Oxford, Salisbury, Stonehenge, Bath and the Cotswolds - an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, if ever there was one! You can see all of this and more - all from the comfort of an iconic London taxi, driven by a knowledgeable, experienced, affable and personable driver - yours truly! I look forward to seeing you! Licensed London Taxi Driver (Black Cab) since 2006. Member of City of Westminster Guides and Lecturers Association, qualified 2012. Qualified Taxi Tour Guide, since 2011, with the Worshipful Company of Hackney Carriage Drivers, accredited by City of London. Associate member of Black Cab Heritage Tours. Member of English Heritage.

It's the most wonderful time of the year - so why not visit London this Christmas to get you into the seasonal spirit? On this 3-hour tour in a Licensed London Black Cab, we will visit London's West End and the surrounding areas to see the world-famous Christmas lights of shopping streets such as Regent Street, Bond Street and Oxford Street. These amazing displays have been an incredibly important part of London's Christmas since the 1950s - some such as the famous Selfridges have been putting on a seasonal show since 1934! Come and join in this wonderful Christmas tradition this year!
This tour is 3 hours long. I am a Licensed London Taxi Driver (for over 16 years) and will drive you around the sites in a Black Cab Mercedes Vito. The vehicle is air-conditioned and fully wheelchair accessible. It can carry up to 6 passengers. I can pick you up from any Central London location and drop you off in Central London. We will visit London's famous shopping areas such as Regent Street, Oxford Street, Bond Street, Carnaby Street and many more. These streets have all been displaying amazing Christmas lights since the 1950s. We will also visit Chelsea, Covent Garden and Trafalgar Square with its famous Christmas tree. I will also tell you the history of these places, and at each stop there will be opportunity to get out of the taxi and take pictures.
