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

How would you like to take a taxi ride through the world capital of Rock'n'Roll? Whether you like The Beatles or The Stones, The Pistols or The Clash, Bowie or Bolan, Blur or Oasis, Pink Floyd or Queen, Hendrix or The Who - I've got something special just for you! Finding the haunts and landmarks associated with this motley band of rockers can be difficult without a guide but I can show exactly where they are so you can pay homage to your musical heroes! Please allow me to introduce myself - I'm Mick, and I've been a gigging musician since I was 17, playing the smallest basement in Soho right up to the biggest venue in London. . . and the greatest festival in the world - Glastonbury! On this epic musical journey, I've picked up a few first-hand stories about the stars mentioned above - and quite a few others, too! Any special requests? Tell me what music you love and who you grew up listening to and let me do the rest. . . I'll tailor your very own bespoke rock'n'roll 4-hour tour of London - in a taxi!

Your London tour itinerary

• I can pick you up from any central London location in my Black Cab - hotel, apartment, station, bar or restaurant. It's up to you! • At each stop I will give you a 5-minute presentation, with a short drive between each stop. • We can go to Abbey Road Studios during the tour, where you will be able to visit the souvenir shop and pose for a pic on the world's most famous pedestrian crossing! • We can go to Earl's Court, Kensington, Soho, Mayfair, Camden, Marylebone, Ladbroke Grove, Notting Hill and St. John's Wood, depending on what your favourite rock stars are! I can play your favourite tunes as we travel - let me know what music you like and what you grew up listening to! I can give you advice on what to do after the tour, such as visiting the Hendrix and Handel Museum - as seen in the photo above. If you need to be picked up from outside central London, there will probably be an extra charge. It cab be arranged - just let me know. Remember - this is a bespoke tour, tailored to your requirements!
