What to expect
You'll be picked up from your hotel or chosen meeting point and settle into a traditional London black cab. The driver will navigate the main routes, timing stops at key vantage points so you can photograph and take in each landmark. Expect frequent pauses rather than a continuous drive—Westminster, the Parliament buildings, the royal residences, and the cathedral are all positioned for viewing from the street. The driver shares historical detail and architectural context as you go. This isn't a rushed sprint; it's a comfortable, paced introduction to central London's most recognisable sights.
Good to know
