During the day, London is a sight to behold. At night, London dazzles and shines even brighter. How can you resist the captivating views of the city at nightfall? Our BCHT taxi drivers are proud collaborators with London’s expansive Illuminated River Project, showing off London decked out in lights, much like a Christmas tree, even outside the festive season. Remember to bring your sunglasses.

On whichever tour you choose, you will witness the first four bridges of the Illuminated River launch. Upon completion, this art project will illuminate 15 bridges across 2.3 miles of the river. The Thames takes centre stage, offering spectacular views from each bridge. Make sure to check out the iconic Tower Bridge and London Bridge, as well as three other bridges. Keep your eyes wide open and your ears tuned for fun facts about the Illuminated River, architectural details of the bridges, and the cultural history of the diverse communities living along the banks.

As food for thought, did you know the growth of London’s taxi industry was historically parallel to the development of crossings over the River Thames? This piece of history holds a special place in our hearts.
