I love this city! I have lived, worked and played in it for over 50 years, 30 of those spent as a Police Officer. In the last few years in the police force I did the ‘Knowledge of London’ to become a London Taxi Driver and realised how much I didn’t know about my city. In fact, I fell in love with it again. It is a beautiful city and one of which I am very proud.

Talking about London’s liquid history here on the river Thames waterfront.

After qualifying as a London Taxi Driver in 2012, I discovered I loved telling people about my London, its history, its people and its buildings. With this in mind I took a Taxi Tour Guide Course run by the ‘Worshipful Company of Hackney Carriage Drivers’ to further enhance my knowledge of this beautiful city and became a member of the ‘London Historians’, and now enjoy taking people out in my Taxi for ‘Black Cab Heritage Tours.

Whichever tour you choose, whether it be the Premier Classic Tour or a more tailored one such as Charles Dickens, The Beatles, James Bond film sites or Rock ‘n’ Roll London, you can be sure of my passion for this city and the enjoyment I get from telling you about it.

Conclusion of another Classic London Tour back at the hotel.

I now also take people on tours of Bath, Oxford, and Cambridge where the history of this country is written into the architecture, landscape and people who made these cities what they are today! I look forward to seeing you on one of our future tours.
