I am a Londoner who has lived and worked in this amazingly historic and cosmopolitan city all my life. I am proud to be part of the fabric of London and can’t wait to show you my home City.

I have always been fascinated by the history and heritage that surrounds me every day and it would be my absolute pleasure as a Driver/Guide to show you around all the famous, and not so famous, sites of London or we can venture into the beautiful English countryside for excursions to Windsor and the Thames Valley, Hampton Court, Stratford-upon-Avon, The Cotswolds, Stonehenge, Salisbury, Bath, Oxford, Blenheim Palace and more. I will give you a full commentary and plenty of opportunities to walk around and take photos.

I have been a London Black Cab driver since 1996 having passed the world’s most stringent taxi test ‘The Knowledge of London’ which takes an average 3 years of study and gives you an unparalleled mastery of the topography of London.

My black cab is a London icon in itself so what better way to get up close to the famous sites and some not so famous gems that not even life-long Londoners know about. My cab is a 2017 limited edition model, is fully air-conditioned and can comfortably seat 5 people as well as being fully wheelchair accessible.

I am also a fully qualified Taxi Guide with the Worshipful Company of Hackney Carriage Drivers, authorised by the University of London, an accredited City of London Guide with the Institute of Tourist Guiding and a member of the City Guides and Lecturers Association.

Experience London with a true Londoner in a vehicle that’s as famous as London itself!
