Hi, my name is Lee I am a born and bred Londoner, from East London. I have been a London Taxi Driver for 30 years so you could say I know London pretty well by now !! I am a member of the WCHCD Worshipful Company of Hackney Carriage Drivers, which makes me a Liveryman of the Company, also have the Freedom of the City of London which in theory entitles me to drive my Sheep over London Bridge free of charge or if I am naughty I can be hung with a Silk Rope no less !! Such quaint traditions we have. I can show and tell you about our 2, 000 years of history, from the arrival of the Romans in 43AD there are still some remains to be seen up close, up to present day London with our diverse history, architecture, art galleries and museums. There is a lot to be seen and photographed. We can see a locals view of London from the comfort of my purpose built London Taxi (fully wheelchair compliant with AC) or we can venture on foot at some sights if you prefer. All of my tours are very personal and bespoke to you; we can visit all of the main attractions and places of interest in or out of town but primarily it's your tour so you decide what you would like to see and do it can be driving around with my designated driver so I can concentrate on showing and telling my guests all about the sites or if you prefer we can walk and get up close and personal to the places we visit or a combination of both it is really up to you just ask. Sights, shopping, restaurants or a bit of everything rolled into one tour or if you have a special interest in anything I'll arrange a tour around that for you. I have been doing cab tours for over eight years and love meeting and telling people about MY London. I can be booked for a few hours or a full day in or out of London if you prefer an unhurried leisurely tour stopping and taking plenty of photographs. Lunch /afternoon tea can be arranged or a visit at an old London pub to soak up the ambiance of our great city. I am a reliable easy going London Cabby who will make your tour truly memorable, some of my personal interests are cooking making and designing jewellery at my workshop and walking my two French Bulldogs Albert and Ralph in Epping Forest where I live. I love showing people around our city and showing them all the things I've discovered over the decades and having some fun while seeing all that London has to offer creating new experiences and memories from your trip to England I've made lots of friends over the years and hopefully more to come. I will be happy to answer any questions or give advice on anything you would like to know about booking a tour while you are with us holidaying in London. 30 years a London Taxi driver and a decade as a cab-guide trained by the Worshipful Company of Hackney Carriage Drivers 104th livery company in the City of London. I have been giving tours since 2012 and enjoyed every minute.
