Join your personal London guide, a qualified cabbie with a wealth of knowledge, for a leisurely 3-hour walk through the heart of the City. I’ll tell you stories about the wonderful buildings we will visit on our travels, starting outside St Paul's Cathedral, visiting the Churchyard (interior tickets required), discovering interesting architecture, parks, and unique pubs along the way as we walk along the historic River Thames taking in beautiful gardens and historic sights.

Arrival at Tilbury: Your London Welcome

Step off your ship and straight into a London icon. Your private Black Cab will be waiting at Tilbury Port for a smooth, comfortable transfer into the heart of the capital. You’ll be greeted by your driver, Shane Healy—a qualified Westminster Guide—who will handle your luggage and share expert insights as the city unfolds around you.

Once your bags are securely dropped at your hotel, Shane will introduce you to your expert guide, Lee Cooper, to begin your adventure.

Whether you need a quick rest between landmarks, want to whisk away to a site further afield, or prefer to avoid uneven pavements, your support team is always a moment away. Follow Lee’s curated route or customise your own—this is London, exactly how you want to see it.

Let's Tour London

There’s lots of interesting things to see and photograph on our travels. As well as St Paul’s we’ll soak up London views from a rooftop view point, visit St Bride’s Church (the inspiration for the tiered wedding cake), Victoria Embankment Gardens, the River Thames, Big Ben, Trafalgar Square and Nelson's Column, the Houses of Parliament and other Westminster landmarks. You'll learn about the people who shaped London, the events that have taken place here, and the secrets that lie hidden in plain sight.

We’ll walk along Fleet Street, the historical home of British newspapers and visit some of the area's oldest and most famous pubs including the 17th-century Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese, the Punch Tavern and the ornate Blackfriar pub. We’ll proceed along the River Thames footpath taking in some of the beautiful gardens along the way.
