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.

I'm a born and bred London tour guide who enjoys providing commentary and chat about all our tour stops and London's great landmarks. I'll be explaining as we explore London's big sights and back streets: royal palaces and tittle-tattle, political powerhouses and prime ministers, churches and cathedrals and London's celebrated personalities; from the trivial to the technical. The backbone of our panoramic tour is London's highlights, covering the city's vast and varied histories, cultures and magnificent buildings. During our busy but unrushed day tour we'll experience the best of London. We can also customize: perhaps some Beatles or Harry Potter, more monarchs or history. We make decisions as we tour. Or you can just leave everything to me. This is not a drive-by tour, walking is involved. There are plenty of stops and opps for photos and refreshments. Having a driver/walking guide conducting your tour in a London taxi is super-efficient and will help to make the day enjoyable and memorable.
We'll be viewing: •Buckingham Palace •Parliament & Big Ben •Westminster Abbey •St James's Palace •Trafalgar Square •St Paul's Cathedral •Tower of London •Shakespeare's Globe •Changing of the Guard Ceremony (Sun, Mon, Wed, Fri) We may visit a fantastic street-food market for lunch (45-mins approx). I park near to landmarks. We'll then walk closer for close-up views. I'll talk as we walk and when we're up close. There are endless opps for photos. Some walks are short and some slightly longer. Time spent viewing a landmark varies from one or two minutes to a few minutes. Everywhere we go is in the open, or free entry if inside. London is BIG so we'll select the best of London for you to enjoy. 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. Perhaps: Beatles, Kings & Queens, Dickens, Shakespeare, Harry Potter, British Museum or National Gallery (both free).
