About Me
If you love London, or you're planning a visit, you're in the right place!
I passed the Knowledge of London in 2017 to become a London Taxi Driver and 3 years later I became a qualified Tour Guide.
Every day I get to share what I know about this incredible city with people from all over the world, and over the years I've been told I should share what I know with even more people. So that's exactly what I'm doing.
Here you'll discover fascinating history, cool trivia, incredible stories, and plenty of recommendations, but not just for the obvious famous places and landmarks, also the tucked away locations that I love in corners of London that most people never find.
Also, you can check out interviews with Londoners and people that have a connection to London. We talk about what this city means to them, their memories, fun stories, history and London locations past & present.
My tours are relaxed, informal and down to earth. I want you to have fun exploring London, not feel like you're sitting through a history lecture! I love sharing the fascinating stories, facts and history behind the places we visit, but I won't stand in one spot for half an hour overwhelming you with every tiny detail. We'll keep things moving, have a laugh along the way and see as much of this incredible city as we can. My tours are friendly, laid back and suitable for all the family, unless a particular tour says otherwise.

About Your Tour
Every tour is completely private and personally guided by me, Paul. I’ll collect you from your central London hotel or another agreed central London meeting point, and return you to your chosen central London location at the end of your tour.
Prices are per taxi, not per person. My modern electric London taxi comfortably seats up to six passengers, so the price is the same whether you’re travelling alone, as a couple or in a group of six.
The taxi features a panoramic glass roof, perfect for sightseeing around London, and is also wheelchair accessible.
During your tour, we’ll make stops wherever practical, giving you opportunities to get out, take photographs and experience London’s fascinating sights up close. The exact route and stops may vary depending on traffic, road closures and conditions on the day.
Longer tours allow time for a relaxed lunch or refreshment break within the booked tour duration. I’m happy to recommend a traditional London pub, café or restaurant, or we can stop somewhere of your choosing. Meals and refreshments are not included in the tour price.
Looking for something a little different? I can create a personalised tour around your interests, whether that’s music, film locations, family history, hidden London or something completely different.
Bespoke tours start from £280 for three hours, with flexible durations and prices tailored to your itinerary and any additional research or preparation required. I’ll discuss your ideas and provide a personalised quote before you book.
Fancy exploring somewhere outside the capital? My private day trips offer the chance to discover historic towns, beautiful countryside, royal landmarks and the traditional English seaside.
