Black Taxi Tours of London

Black cabs are as much a part of London’s cityscape as red telephone boxes and the tower of Big Ben, but they’re also a great way to get around the city with ease. Here are a few ways to tour London in style and comfort—by traditional black cab.

Highlights

• Cruise through the streets of London, and listen as your driver shares secrets and stories from the city’s colorful past.

• Tailor your tour to hit the highlights of most interest to you, and make photo stops and detours whenever you’d like.

• Enjoy the 24-hour bustle of tourist hotspots like Piccadilly Circus, Soho, and Trafalgar Square from the comfort of your own vehicle—simply roll down your windows to admire the views.

• Spin off the tourist trail to see hidden attractions and explore lesser-known districts for a taste of the real London.

• Combine your black cab tour with a drive past sights made famous in the “Harry Potter” and “Sherlock Holmes” books and movies.
