From the comfort of my black cab, I'll take you on a history-packed tour of London's essential sites.
London Bridge, St Paul's Cathedral, the Tower, Westminster and Buckingham Palace are all covered, plus a few small surprises along the way!
This tour is ideal for first time visitors to London who are keen to experience London's major landmarks.
Before being allowed to drive a cab, London's taxi drivers are required to complete an intensive course of study called 'The Knowledge', in which we have to learn every road, street and alley in the city, along with the buildings and places of interest which stand upon them.
This training is extremely detailed and takes a considerable amount of time to complete (I personally had to study for 4 years before I received my taxi badge!) 'The Knowledge' therefore ensures that London's cabbies know their city inside-out.
I am also a qualified 'London Taxi Guide'. This title was awarded to me by the 'Worshipful Company of Hackney Carriage Drivers' after completing a course (involving both written study and practical guiding skills) on London's 2,000 year old history.
All in all, I am passionate about my city, and I look forward to welcoming you into my cab!
