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.

During this horrorable tour we explore execution sites, plague pits, murder scenes and haunted churchyards. We'll probe the gruesome underbelly of London's history up close. It's said that England has more ghosts and horrible history than any other nation. We Brits love a bit of grisly storytelling and the scary thing is that everything on this tour is based on historical truth. My love of London and its history is all encompassing, so we'll also explore where plague victims were buried, witches were burnt and one of Jack the Ripper's ghastly murders took place; it's an isolated backstreet, just wide enough for my London cab to drive down. We'll discover evidence of 'stacking' and 'resurrection' and in a secluded pocket-park we'll find a memorial hailing acts of heroism but tinged by tragedy. This is not a drive-by tour. Having a driver/walking guide like me conducting your tour in a London taxi is super-efficient and will help to make the day enjoyable and memorable.
Door-2-Door: meet and greet and return to your hotel/accommodation. We shall cover: •Murder •Mayhem •Execution •Exhumation •Plague •Pest •Disease •Death. . . . and ghosts. I'm your driver and private guide and I'll be explaining as we explore. There are plenty of stops for photo opps. I'll talk as we walk and when we're up close. All walks are very short. Time spent viewing a location varies from one or two minutes to a few minutes. We're always close to coffee shops and places for bathroom breaks.
