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. Member of the National Trust. Member of Historic Royal Palaces. Please note that I do not have a license to guide within St. Paul's Cathedral, Westminster Abbey or the Tower of London. I can only guide in English.

Overview of your London tour

Take a spine-tingling taxi-ride through the most haunted capital city in the world! It is hardly surprising that London has this gruesome reputation, considering the very many grisly and gory ways in which some of its citizens have met their ends in 2,000 years of sometimes spectacularly violent history! London has many hidden corners and dark alleyways, and I will take you to these spooky places and reveal their scary secrets. On this 3-hour taxi tour through central London you will hear nightmarish tales that will jangle your nerves and scramble your senses! Among the many places we will visit are the most haunted house in London, the most haunted parish church in Britain and the most haunted castle in the world! Watch out for the happy ghosts, sad ghosts, mad ghosts and very, very bad ghosts that you may encounter along the way, including the Cheating Soldier. . . the Murdered Actor. . . the Handsome Phantom. . . the Headless Queen. . . Fred the Poltergeist. . . Are you ready to face your fears?!

Your London tour itinerary

• I can pick you up from any central London location. If this is your hotel, then I will meet you in the lobby after making my presence known to the Concierge and Reception. I will then escort you to my taxi, which seats 4 adults comfortably. • The Haunted London Tour by Taxi will take 3 hours, and will head from the pick-up point to a haunted pub in Knightsbridge, then on to Mayfair, where I will show you the most haunted house in London. We will then head to Westminster Abbey and then on to Theatreland, Covent Garden and Fleet Street, before driving over to Smithfield. From there we will go to the Bank of England, then on to the most haunted castle in the world! • At the end of our spine-tingling journey, I can drop you off at any central London location - please let me know beforehand if this is different from your pick-up point. Remember - phantoms can be very fickle and may not always appear when you want them to, and may also creep up behind you when you least expect it! Customizable upon request
