About This Tour

A private tour for your group only, aboard a real London black cab — genuine city highlights from a distinctly London style of touring. This is a private tour for your group only, aboard a real London black cab, driven by your own driver-guide.

Every London black cab driver earns the right to that distinctive vehicle by passing The Knowledge, a licensing exam dating to the 1800s that typically takes about three years of study. Candidates must memorize roughly 25,000 streets and 320 standard routes across the city, plus the landmarks along each one, before they're allowed behind the wheel. It's considered one of the toughest professional exams in the world — and it's a large part of why a genuine black cab tour feels different from being driven around by someone reading a map.

The cab itself carries its own slice of London trivia. For over a century, London's hackney carriages have been required to complete a full U-turn inside a 25-foot circle — a rule widely (if not definitively) traced to the tight roundabout outside the Savoy Hotel on the Strand, where legend holds that a cab needed exactly that turning radius to drop a guest at the door without reversing. Whether that's the rule's literal origin or just the story that stuck, it's one more way the black cab is built specifically for this city's streets rather than adapted from somewhere else.
