About this activity

REAL LONDON AND HISTORY!

Hi! I'm Billy,

I'm a London Black Cab Driver and tour guide. Like other cabby guides, I did the WCHCD Cabbie Guides course, but I went on to do more...

I've always been building new tours, researching and learning more and more about British history.

I did a history degree between 2020-2024, graduating 1st class in September 2024.

I love history so much, that I've started to broadcast podcasts on discussing British history, London and more.

I love showing my guests what makes London so special, the city is 2000 years old, and I believe every visitor should really experience why it is so special!

As the owner and lead guide of London History Taxi Tours, my motto is:

Learn London - Love London - Live London

or, depending how you look at it

LEARN LONDON - LIVE LONDON - LOVE LONDON

I see it as London isn't something you just visit, but something you embrace!
