Visiting a new City can be daunting, you want to tick all the boxes to ensure you haven't missed any highlights - but is there more? For me, I couldn't work as a Tour Guide in London without wanting to know the whys and the wherefores! And I love sharing that knowledge and enthusiasm with visitors. I was born at the foot of London Bridge, and brought up within the shadows of The Tower of London, so I have an affinity to the City, and have learnt more than you would ever need to know about it on one of my tours. I have just reached 30 years as a London Taxi Driver, of which the extensive four years training give a fantastic background to London's historical, architectural and topographical layout. My Tour Guide journey started 12 years ago, when I completed the Worshipful Company of Hackney Carriage Drivers Taxi Tour Guide Course - I'm proud to say I am now the Head Tutor of the Course. After being bitten by the London History bug, I quickly followed this up by completing the University of Westminster's Clerkenwell and Islington Tour Guide Course, passing with Merit. Further interests, which I would be happy to share or discuss with you, include Rugby (playing and refereeing), Cricket, Football, Fishing, Camping and Hiking. My continued love of London and British history has enabled me to successfully lead driven and walking tours of all regions of Central London, Oxford, Cambridge, Canterbury, Bath, Stonehenge, Salisbury Cathedral, Hampton Court Palace, Leeds Castle, Dover Castle and Hever Castle. I look forward to hearing from you, in order to arrange your tailor-made or set tours, from London, your Cruise Terminal or Airport. Clerkenwell and Islington Tour Guide Worshipful Company of Hackney Carriage Drivers Taxi Tour Guide Licensed London Taxi Driver I am not a Blue Badge Guide, so although I can accompany you in Windsor Castle, The Tower of London, Westminster Abbey and St Paul's Cathedral, I am not permitted to guide in them.

Overview of your London tour

I was born at the foot of London Bridge, and brought up within the shadows of The Tower of London, so I have a great affinity to the area. We'll explore London's two Cities (yes, there are two Cities!), taking in all of the sites you would expect to see in this great Capital City. Sit back and relax in a modern, yet iconic, electric air conditioned London Taxi, viewing the streets and buildings through the glass roof, whilst I talk you through our different neighbourhoods, as only a local can. I have just reached 30 years as a London Taxi Driver, of which the extensive four years training give a fantastic background to London's historical, architectural and topographical layout. We will take time to walk around sites to gain a more in depth understanding of our famous buildings and bridges, and the stories around how they came to be.

We had been to London several times in the past 25 years, but this trip w Steven outshined those others. If you want to experience London in a special way, book a tour w Steven B.

Steve was an incredible guide! He picked us up on time at our hotel. He took us to many sites and parked the cab so we could walk around while he spoke about what we were seeing. He was very knowledgeable. He spoke directly to the children which we really appreciated!! The kids (age 13 and 11) really enjoyed the tour. Highly recommend!!!
