Overview

This private London Black Taxi Tour takes you around the East End and City, exploring the places where the City’s Villains and Gangsters became infamous.

We stop at a wide variety of locations with the flexibility to either view them from within the Taxi, or Hop Out to get a closer look and take some photos. At each place, David will tell you tales of its past and give you loads of interesting facts and background info.

There’s a chance to stop a bit longer at one or two of the cafes and pubs. Favourites are Pellicci’s Italian Cafe, Maureen’s Pie and Mash, The Prospect of Whitby pub or The Town of Ramsgate pub.

Later on we see the locations of some of London’s biggest robberies and heists.
