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

When you have seen the classics and fancy something different consider a trip to Eltham Palace, sited conveniently just outside London in the leafy borough of Greenwich. It is fair to say that amongst Palaces Eltham is special. A delightful combination of medieval meets Art Deco style. Since its inception in the 14th Century, Eltham Palace has enjoyed many incarnations, and seen its fair share of important personages; as a royal nursery one of its most famous occupants was Henry VIII (long before he acquired his six wives). Sadly, overtime it fell out of favour and into disrepair, Luckily, in the early 20th Century a fabulously wealthy philanthropist and his glamorous wife rescued it and restored it in their own unique style giving us the building we see today.
