London has over 2000 years of history. It has survived disease, fire and war. It has Roman walls, Norman towers, Tudor palaces, Renaissance splendour, Georgian elegance, Victorian grandeur, beautiful green spaces and breathtaking modern structures. London cannot be tamed. All you can do is revel in its richness and enjoy the adventure. My name is Paul and I'm lucky enough to live and work in this fabulous city. I have always appreciated the history and culture and there is nothing more I love than sharing it with people from all over the world. I am a licensed London Taxi driver having completed the famous 'Knowledge of London' in 2010. Since then I have become a qualified Taxi tour guide. Not only do my guests get to see and learn about the rich history of the main sites, we will also go off the beaten track and discover some of the lesser known parts of the city. Travelling in an iconic London Taxi is the best and most elegant way of meandering through the ancient streets of London. It allows us to use your time wisely. We can use the bus lanes to avoid traffic jams and park up and explore the sites in more detail. My fully air conditioned Taxi also has USB charging points so don't forget your charging cables. Whether you are interested in The Romans, The Royals or The Beatles, my passion and knowledge will provide you with a fun, informative and engaging tour. Completed the ‘Knowledge of London’ 2010 to become a licensed London Taxi Driver. Became a qualified Taxi tour guide (accredited by the City University) 2016. Member of Historic Royal Palaces. Member of London Historians. I am not a Blue Badge Guide which means that although I can accompany you inside the Tower of London, St. Paul’s Cathedral and Westminster Abbey, I cannot guide inside these historical monuments.

On this tour we will travel from west to east and feast on the history, heritage and culture of London's vibrant streets. We'll be able to get up close and personal with all the main historical sites. Every day that I work in Central London is an honour. You can literally feel the history jumping off the walls and the streets. Whether I'm driving people as a world renowned Black Cab driver or as a tour guide, I feel as though I am an ambassador for this great city. Royal Palaces, 2000 year old city walls, elaborate monuments, beautiful open spaces, it's here for all to see. There are also many locations which most local people walk past every day but don't have the chance to explore as they are rushing to work. You will not only see the main sights but also the lesser known locations with a story to tell. The Iconic London Taxi provides you with the complete London experience. With my impeccable knowledge of the cities street network, you will see the capital and all its wonders.
