After picking up your family or group of friends (of between 1-6 people) from a central London hotel, the private taxi will be yours for the entire 2 hours 30 minutes.

It will just be you, your buddies, and a chatty London cabbie cruising around the Christmassy city and busy shopping streets, gazing out of the window at the pretty illuminations, twinkling lights and festive decorations.

You'll see the famous lights down Oxford Street and Regent Street, take in Bond Street, Carnaby Street and Seven Dials, then pass the big tree in Trafalgar Square and festive shopfront at Fortnum & Mason's, before heading for the decorated boutiques around Mayfair, Kensington and Chelsea.

Along the way your driver will keep you all entertained with some seasonal stories and city history, and he'll be happy to stop on request so you can jump out and take some souvenir photos. (It's a good idea to walk to a few pedestrian places like Covent Garden piazza and the tree inside Leadenhall Market.)
