Join your personal London guide, a qualified cabbie with a wealth of knowledge, for a leisurely 3-hour walk through the heart of the City. I’ll tell you stories about the wonderful buildings we will visit on our travels, starting outside St Paul's Cathedral, visiting the Churchyard (interior tickets required), discovering interesting architecture, parks, and unique pubs along the way as we walk along the historic River Thames taking in beautiful gardens and historic sights.

Tilbury to Central London

We'll pick you up right from Tilbury port in your own classic London Black Cab and whisk you away to the heart of London. Your friendly guide will share some interesting facts about the area as we travel. Once we arrive, you can either let your guide lead the way to some of the top attractions, or you can tell us which ones you'd love to see – it's your tour!

Let's Tour London

There’s lots of interesting things to see and photograph on our travels. As well as St Paul’s we’ll soak up London views from a rooftop view point, visit St Bride’s Church (the inspiration for the tiered wedding cake), Victoria Embankment Gardens, the River Thames, Big Ben, Trafalgar Square and Nelson's Column, the Houses of Parliament and other Westminster landmarks. You'll learn about the people who shaped London, the events that have taken place here, and the secrets that lie hidden in plain sight.

We’ll walk along Fleet Street, the historical home of British newspapers and visit some of the area's oldest and most famous pubs including the 17th-century Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese, the Punch Tavern and the ornate Blackfriar pub. We’ll proceed along the River Thames footpath taking in some of the beautiful gardens along the way.

Your tour will end at Westminster—the bustling governmental area. This is a great opportunity to see the best of London in a relaxed and informative way. Whether you're a first-time visitor or a seasoned traveler, you're sure to learn something new on this walk.

Return to Tilbury

After your London experience, your driver will escort you back to Tilbury Port. We'll coordinate the return journey to ensure you arrive with plenty of time before your ship sails.

The London black cab is wheelchair-accessible and permitted in areas restricted to regular vehicles. Accommodates up to 4 passengers with luggage or up to 5 passengers without.
This tour can be customised to fit your preferences, whether you want to change the entire route or just add a few stops. For example, you could visit the Sherlock Holmes and Old Bank of England pubs, or if it's raining pop into the National Gallery. The wonderfully ornate Leadenhall Market is a favourite (especially among Harry Potter fans) and Bracken House astronomical clock (the strangest in London) is one not to be missed. I can even incorporate parts of other tours to create a truly unique experience. Please let me know if you have any questions or would like to customise your tour.
Actual tour destinations may vary depending on weather and where you wish to finish your tour.

Our customers say...

"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."

"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! "
