Experience the relevance of American culture within London through a private London Black Taxi tour. As a certified taxi guide and a London Taxi Driver since 1994, I offer unique insights.
Explore London corners you weren’t aware of. You’ll be surprised at the extensive American influence visible in London, and unearth underrated treasures forgotten by time.
The tour primarily focuses on two areas.
• Eastern part of The Thames uncovers the roots of the 13 colonies since 1606. On the south side, we’ll explore famous locations like Mayflower and navigate around London’s Blackwall, Rotherhithe, the quaint Shad Thames transitioning to the river’s other side to discover fashionable Wapping and the City.
• St. James’s and Mayfair in the West marks the birth of the United States dating back to the 1770s. Here, we’ll be visiting Benjamin Franklin’s erstwhile home. I’ll guide you to the place where the Treaty of Paris was ratified, and offer a plethora of other historical insights.
