Hi and welcome to the magnificent metropolis and historical minefield that is London. My name is Will and I have been driving a London Taxi around the City's streets for over 24 years. I am also a qualified London Taxi Tour Guide which allows excellent access to many of London's attractions in my modern, electric and fully air-conditioned London Black Taxi. I was born in North London and am a father to three daughters and a grandfather to my two grandson's Noah and Jude. I have always been massively interested in all aspects of history. From back in my school days, where I studied History and Ancient History, to the modern day where I am often found with my head in a historical book, when I am not working or guiding. I am especially passionate about the history of London, the city I was born and raised in. I have always loved sharing my historical knowledge, enthusiasm and experience of London with anybody and everybody with similar interests, whether that be purely historical or linked to more modern, themed interests. I also make yearly Armistice day visits to Ypres, in Belgium, where the British were based in the Great War. My other interests include running my own Krav Maga self-defence school and virtually all sports. I also enjoy meeting and learning from the many people I meet whilst guiding. As the old adage goes "Every day is a school day". I pride myself on providing interesting, informative but mainly fun days with my clients and I really look forward to hearing from you and to showing you such places as Buckingham Palace, Kensington Palace, Westminster Abbey, the Houses of Parliament, St Paul's Cathedral, the Tower of London and many other locations in my great city. We can also venture further afield and visit some English treasures just outside of London. Such as Bath, Avebury, Stonehenge, Hampton Court Palace, Windsor Castle, Eton, Runnymede Magna Carta, Hever Castle (Henry the Eighth and Anne Boleyn), Chartwell House (Winston Churchill), The Cotswolds, Oxford, Stratford-upon-Avon, Cambridge, Winchester, Canterbury, White Cliffs of Dover, Salisbury and Old Sarum. Not forgetting some theme based tours with Harry Potter, Charles Dickens or The Beatles. Do not hesitate to contact me if you would like me to customize or personalize any tour which differs from the tours/itineraries shown. Please just ask and we can create, together, the perfect day for your wishes combining any mixture of places. I'm at your disposal also for the multi-day tours. Qualified London Taxi Driver. Qualified London Taxi Tour Guide. Member of English Heritage. Member of the National Trust. Member of Historic Royal Palaces. Member of Royal Collection Trust. Although I can accompany you into such attractions as the Tower of London, St Paul's Cathedral, Westminster Abbey and Windsor Castle, I am not a Blue Badge guide and therefore unable to guide in these historical monuments.

Overview of your London tour

Upon departing London, we will head out west through the rolling countryside to the ancient City of Bath, a World Heritage Spa City and one of my favorite places to visit. After around a 2 hour journey we will stretch our legs and begin our exploration of Bath beginning with the Roman Baths to enjoy the Sacred Spring, Roman Temple, Bath House and Museum. After taking a little time for lunch at one of the many restaurants (or a classic tea room) we will then visit such places as the Bath Abbey, the Assembly Rooms, the Fashion Museum, Victoria Art Gallery, the Jane Austin Museum (and the aforementioned tea room) and take in some classic Georgian architecture on our structured walk around the town. We will then proceed on to Stonehenge, a UNESCO World Heritage site, and explore this Neolithic stone circle (and the brilliant Exhibition Visitors center) which has been on this site for over 4, 500 years and is one of the wonders of the world. We will then return to your London hotel or another agreed location.

Will helped me to customize this tour and we absolutely loved it. We went to Bath and explored the Roman baths then went to Cotswold. He is the best!! I wanted to see the English countryside and we DID!!

Will is a wonderful tour guide. We spent a full day with him in Bath and at Stonehenge. He provided great explanations of what we were viewing and was very mindful of my mobility issues. He would have us wait while he retrieved the car. Bath is a beautiful city with a wonderful literary history. If you are a Bridgerton fan it is great seeing some of the sights from the show. I cannot recommend at better tour guide than Will. We will certainly recommend him to friends traveling to London.

Wil provided a top notch experience. This was a very special tour of Windsor Castle and Stonehenge. Wil was able to narrate on the trip to Windsor and provided some much needed background. My wife and I are older with some mobility issues and Wil took great care of us. He got us elevators (Lifts) that were not available to the general public. His breadth of knowledge was amazing, but was able to keep some humor in his explanations as well. After the Castle we went into the town of Windsor before having lunch. Then on to Stonehenge. It was a long way and his driving was so excellent my wife and I caught a nap. He provided a very insightful visit. We cannot recommend Wil highly enough. A terrific guide and traveling companion.
