Accredited London Tour Guide and Co-Founder of Black Cab Heritage Tours

There's no better way to get close and personal with London's famous landmarks than an iconic London Black Cab (taking a ride in one can be considered an attraction in itself).

Key interests have history at the top of my list - and because film, music and literature appeal have included these themes in my speciality themed tours.

Outside Buckingham Palace.

I am a London Taxi Driver, having passed 'The Knowledge of London' in 1987 - and London's Black Cabs have a unique and distinctive appearance, as well as a long and proud history, and are one of the most recognizable symbols on the streets of our capital City.

London Taxi Drivers are almost as famous as the Black Cabs that they drive, due to their having gone through stringent training, 'The Knowledge' is a test, which is among the hardest to pass in the world, and has often been described as 'having an atlas of London imprinted in your brain' - it is the equivalent of a university degree.

London Black Cabs traverse the narrow medieval streets where tour buses cannot pass and can also use the bus lanes for extra efficiency. Our vehicles are also fully accessible for wheelchair users.

I am one of a very small groups of cabbies to become a London Taxi Tour Guide (accredited by the City University) and am also a qualified 'City of London Guide', and 'City of Westminster Guide'.

In 2017 I was proud to be shortlisted for 'Luxury Travel Guide of the Year' award and in recent years have featured on the Travel Channel.

I make sightseeing informative, interesting, fun and entertaining for the first time visitors or regular tourists - not just because of London's history and culture, but also specifically for fans of the British Royal Family, Harry Potter, Downton Abbey, James Bond and the Beatles for example.

We can also venture a little further afield because it would be fun to show you around some treasures just outside of London such as Hampton Court Palace, Runnymede Magna Carta and we can even take scenic River Thames cruise to Windsor Castle.

Tours can be customised for bespoke requirements, and I work to a high standard and not to a price.

Travellers can feel confident that panoramic sightseeing is conducted from the cleanest and safest form of transport - the London Black Cab!

Our customers say...
"Thank you John Parsons for providing the gorgeous white taxi for our wedding day, it was beautifully dressed and couldn’t have asked for more! We enjoyed chatting and laughing with you on our journey home! And thank you for being so patient when we were late! We will definitely be recommending."
Katie
"Our tour on Saturday was really good. Paul met us promptly as arranged and introduced himself asking any personal places we wished to visit which he incorporated into the tour. We didn't tell my husband Brian until the morning and he was so pleased . Paul was very informative on all of the tour stopping now and again so we could take photos and stretch our legs. The whole weekend was amazing and the weather was perfect but I think the tour was the highlight. We were all very impressed with Paul. Kind and courteous without being intrusive and we were only sorry when the three hours finished. Sad to say we are now home and back to reality but we have made some good memories that we can cherish. Here's to our next tour."
Sandra
"It was amazing! They both did a wonderful job, were professional and friendly and so knowledgeable! I have been to London multiple times and was astounded at how much I learned! It was also nice to see the “non touristy” sites which makes me feel like I know more about the “real London”. I would certainly recommend this service to anyone and, especially for those like me, who have a mobility issue, it was a godsend. It allowed me to get into areas that I would not have been able to get to had I had to walk into them. Bill was very thoughtful in how he maneuvered to get me close and never made me feel like the old lady. He was a true gentleman! I know that Michele enjoyed the ghost tour and I have seen some of her Facebook posts on it and she was very pleased. And I, personally, was glad it didn’t focus on Jack the Ripper and Harry Potter! I am so glad that I found your service and will certainly be back in touch on my next trip. I want to see and learn more about a city that is one of my favorites! I would be glad to discuss my experience with anyone who wants more detailed information if you would find that helpful. Thank you again for the wonderful experience! And special thanks to Bill and Mick! Take good care!"

"Our friends and family have already heard and we shall confirm how much we like BCHT and the great service you provide. Thank you for setting up our tours and allowing us to select William as our tour guide. It goes without saying how much we have enjoyed our tours and time with William. His history knowledge is superb and we enjoy his quirky personality that fits ours. We intend to use your services again and would enjoy meeting you on our next visit to London. Infact, we started a list of sites and experiences we would like to see and do with William. We will contact you once we set a date and firmed up our new Wish List. Thank you for making our stay in London memorabile... AGAIN!"
