Experience London with Lee & Shane

Join me, Lee Cooper, for a comprehensive Black Cab tour of London that brings the city’s soul to life. We’ll cover all the icons—the Tower of London, Westminster, Big Ben, St Paul's Cathedral, Tower Bridge, the City of London, and the vibrant stalls of Borough Market. With 30 years of experience as a London cabbie, I don’t just show you the sights; I share the deep history and local culture that only a true Londoner knows.

Your Time, Your Pace

Explore the city on a fascinating 6-hour Black Cab tour. Whether you want to tick off major attraction, hunt for hidden gems, or simply slow down and savour the atmosphere, we make it happen.

Door-to-Door Service

We’ll start by picking you up directly from your Central London hotel or apartment (or further afield, see 'More Options'). We aren't just driving past; we’ll hop out for photos and strolls at the best spots. And of course, we’ll break for lunch—perhaps some traditional fish and chips and a pint of real ale in one of my favourite historic pubs?

Two Experts are Better Than One

The real "secret sauce" of this tour is our two-man team. While my partner Shane—a fellow Westminster guide—navigates the traffic and handles the driving, I am free to give you my undivided attention as your dedicated step-on guide. You won't find Shane distracted by a GPS or me distracted by the road; instead, you get a seamless experience filled with expert history and my collection of witty cabbie stories.

London on Your Terms

Because we’re in a taxi, we can skip the crowds and find the "secret" London others miss. If you have a specific landmark in mind, just say the word and I’ll build it into our route.

We’ll wrap up the day by dropping you back at your hotel, or any other spot in the city that suits your evening plans.

Our customers say...

"My husband and I brought our 12 year old grandson to London for a surprise trip. We booked a drive to Oxford & the Cotswolds with Albion Touring prior to our arrival. On the day of departure our driver Chris (also Albion’s owner!) arrived spot on time. From the minute we left the doorstep of our flat Chris narrated our drive and brought the history of London from Roman times alive for all of us but especially for our grandson. In Oxford Chris took us thru the city telling us some of the most interesting tales. He engaged our grandson on his level and was constantly asking after our comfort. We saw several villages in the Cotswolds and upon learning that we were cheese lovers to us to his favorite cheese shop. I needed supplies from the local pharmacy and he carried those for me in the village and even ran them back to the vehicle. He went out of his way to take us to the The Kings Men Circle of Stones. A smaller Stonehenge with fabulous legends and we loved it. If you are considering booking a drive with Albion don’t hesitate. I would do this again and again! "

"That man is a GEM – don't let him go away. During our week long stay we spent time with a handful of guides – London Walks, three EF guides, a Blue Badge and several others, but I will state with utmost certainty that not one of them was as genuinely interested and willing to make our day perfect as Chris. He set us at ease straight away with his warmth and down-to-earth personality and proceeded to entertain and enthral us with tales and trivia the whole day through. He asked just enough questions to get an idea of our interests and then managed to please everyone. What a perfect way for us to spend our last day in England...thank you for assigning him to our group...please, please give Chris a gigantic thank-you from us all."
