What to expect
You'll be collected from your hotel and settle into a vintage black cab—London's most recognisable form of transport. The driver provides running commentary on each stop, pointing out architectural details, historical events and royal connections as you move through central Westminster. Photography is built into the itinerary, so expect to pause at each major landmark. The pace is leisurely; this isn't a rushed tick-box exercise. Weather permitting, you'll spend brief moments outside the cab at certain vantage points, though much of the tour happens from your seat.
Good to know
Hotel pick-up is limited to central London locations; Heathrow area hotels are excluded. Attraction entry fees are not included—this is exterior sightseeing. The cab is wheelchair accessible, as are all pavements and landmarks you'll encounter. Children can travel in prams or buggies; service animals are welcome.
