If you don't fancy riding around in an open-top bus, then how about sitting in the back of one of London's iconic black taxis instead?
This private tour will see you picked up from a central London location for a 2-hour ride around the capital.
Photo: viator.comLondon taxi drivers famously know every alley, attraction and side street of the city because they have to pass 'The Knowledge'. The world's most stringent taxi exam requires them to memorise practically the entire A-Z! They're also famous for their chat and banter, so they'll keep you entertained with amusing anecdotes, insider tips and historical commentary as they go.
Choose your own sightseeing route
Photo: londondrum.comIf you want to get out and stretch your legs, take some photos, grab a souvenir, or take a closer look at an attraction, then the cabbie will be happy to stop on request. You can even take control of the route yourself and tell the cabbie exactly where you'd like to go.
Photo: londondrum.comIf you're new to London then the driver can choose a route that includes lots of famous landmarks. A typical trip will start around Trafalgar Square so you can see Nelson's Column and the National Gallery.
Photo: londondrum.comThen you'll head down Whitehall to see Horse Guards, Downing Street, the Houses of Parliament and Westminster Abbey.
Photo: londondrum.comA drive down the Mall will take you past St. James's Palace and Buckingham Palace, before passing along Piccadilly to see Piccadilly Circus.
Photo: londondrum.comIf time and traffic allows then you'll head into the City to see St. Paul's Cathedral, Tower Bridge and the Tower of London.
Photo: londondrum.comOr maybe you'd like to drive along the river from Big Ben to see the attractions across the river? This will take you past the London Eye, Globe Theatre and HMS Belfast.
Photo: londondrum.comIf you cross over London Bridge at The Shard then you can cross back over the river on Tower Bridge and then pass the Bank of England and Royal Exchange towards St. Paul's Cathedral.
The route can be entirely up to you - it's like having your own private cab!
