Black Cab Heritage Tours are proud to promote London’s Illuminated River Foundation project - a long-term art installation which transforms the River Thames at night, with an orchestrated series of light works which span 9 bridges in central London.

London by day is glorious, but London by night is glorious and glittering!

Can you afford to miss out on those hypnotic nocturnal views? BCHT and our cabbies proudly partner with London’s massive Illuminated River Project to showcase London all lit-up like a Christmas tree - even outside of the holiday season, so don’t forget your shades!

The River Thames is the star of the tours, but so are the fantastic views from bridges, which include 2 of London’s most famous - Tower Bridge and London Bridge.

Let us entertain you, so blinkers glued and ears on alert for amusing stories and anecdotes from your Private Driver Guide host - whether on the inside knowledge of architecture of the bridges or the social history of the diverse communities living along the banks of this famous old river.

Did you know that the London taxi trade expanded historically alongside the pace of the River Thames crossings? This one’s close to our heart!
