Hi, my name is Tom and I am a proud Londoner. I was born and grew up in Camden Town, the product of Irish parents who arrived in the 1950s. I am a family man and have both children and grandchildren. My hobbies include walking and reading, usually about history, and I am interested in all sport but particularly football. I completed the world famous 'Knowledge of London' and qualified as a Professional London Black Cab Driver back in 1999. For me, London is an ongoing love affair and I am constantly seeking to extend my knowledge. I qualified as a London Taxi Tour Guide with the Worshipful Company of Hackney Carriage Drivers in 2018, and I have recently graduated as a Clerkenwell and Islington Tour Guide as well. I consider it a privilege to show you my city which has over 2000 years of history, and I can offer you a tour adapted entirely to your interests. We can take in any or all of the classics but you may prefer to explore a little off the beaten track and see some of the rarely visited but no less interesting places. The perfect way to achieve this is a combination of London taxi and walking; I offer both. And there is no need to feel guilty about riding around in my completely electric, eco-friendly taxi with seating for five guests. Most guests say that my tours are good fun, and I know you will take away some interesting facts, you may even pick up some cockney slang - hope to see you soon! Clerkenwell and Islington Guiding Association Qualified Guide 2022 Worshipful Company of Hackney Carriage Drivers Taxi Tour Guide 2018 The Knowledge of London - 1999 Although I am a multi-qualified & registered guide I am not a Blue Badge guide so am unable to guide inside of Westminster Abbey, St Paul's Cathedral, Tower of London & Windsor Castle. However, I can accompany you on your visit.

Overview of your London tour

For nearly 1000 years the iconic Round Tower of Windsor Castle has stood as a beacon on the Berkshire skyline. Today it appears welcoming, even friendly, but make no mistake this edifice was built with a strategic purpose; to defend against all comers, and impress with its majesty. English monarchs have resided here since its inception by William the conqueror C. 1070 and many are buried in the magnificent St George's Chapel which lies within the castle walls. Indeed Windsor is so intertwined with Royalty that it gave its name to the present royal family. Just down river from Windsor is Runnymede, famed as the place where the Magna carta was signed by King John in 1215. This important document laid the foundation of English democracy, a system that was subsequently transported around the globe. Was your country one that benefited from this historic event??

Your London tour itinerary

The tour visits both Windsor and Runnymede and we will move between the two in my Black Taxi.

Please note, St Georges chapel is closed to tourists on Sundays.
