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

This tour will give you an overview of all the major London sights. You will experience over 2000 years of history, and get a real feeling for this great city. London is full of iconic buildings and interesting monuments, and we can explore its history and traditions, as well as its famous inhabitants. Writing in 1777, Samuel Johnson was not wrong when he stated that 'when a man is tired of London, he is tired of life'. As a Black Cab driver and Taxi Tour Guide I have an in depth knowledge of London, a place I am passionate about. I can organise a tour that takes in the best that London has to offer but I am happy to incorporate your ideas as well. So, if there is something you particularly want to see or do, let me know. I look forward to meeting you Tom
