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.

Lee and Shane were excellent - we were impressed with their knowledge and supported our tour with extra options we didn’t know !

Our tour with Lee was amazing! He fit in all of our special requests and still found time to throw in some fun side quests. His driver Shane was also a delight- they have a great rapport with each other. There are quite a few tour guides in London, but let me save you the trouble of looking- use these guys!

What can we say about our tour guide Lee other than he was THE BEST! So much knowledge and very professional. No request went unmet and helped us manage our limited time in London. We saw much more than we ever thought possible and all thanks to what has to be the BEST GUIDE IN LONDON.

We had the best day in London with Lee and Shane. We took an eight hour tour, and Lee was very flexible in planning the day. We knew we wanted to go to Abbey Road, so we started there. At one point roads were closed, and he just worked around that, and came up with a new strategy so that we could see everything. We saw all the highlights of the city, plus many things we didn’t know existed, which we’re very cool. Lee knows so much about London, and was great to listen to, and learn from. I would recommend him to anyone heading into London. I would definitely call him again. Also, Lee and Shane work as a team, Shane drives, which makes it super easy to get in and out at all the great spots, without having to waste time to park. It allows for a lot of walking and movement as well. We enjoyed walking around a lot of the neighborhoods. It was an amazing day! Thanks Lee and Shane!

Lee Cooper did a great job on this tour. His driver was also very good. I would highly recommend Lee for any tour while in London

May I give Lee a 10. A rating of 5 is not enough. We were amazed in arrival that he was accompanied by Shane who was the actual taxi driver. This allowed for maximizing our tour. Instead of finding parking spaces, Shane could drop us off. Then, on our way with Lee being a fabulous orator on the highlights and destination. Lee really is amazing in tailoring to us.. Shane recommended a wonderful lunch pub. Lee and Shane were so delightful. They are the two to show you the city.
