Private Tours: London England
My name is David Bromiley. I have been a Licensed London Taxi Driver for many years having passed the famous ‘Knowledge of London’ back in 1984. As many will already know, the ‘Knowledge’ is the strictest testing system for prospective taxi drivers in the world.
Since the days of the horse-drawn Hansom Cabs there have been quite a few changes in the design of the London Taxi but with each successive model the London Taxi has continued to be recognised as a classic London icon. The taxis are subject to the most stringent regulations to ensure that they are suitable for such rigorous daily work. The travelling public can therefore have complete confidence in the safety and quality of both the driver and vehicle. They are known locally as ‘Black Cabs’ but they can be any colour and that includes shocking pink with dots on as the surface can be used for advertising virtually anything. I drive an LPG Metrocab which gives a smoother and much quieter ride than the conventional diesel powered taxi.
London is a fascinating city with a history dating back to when the Romans arrived two thousand years ago when in fact London did not even exist, but was merely a collection of huts and hovels on the south bank of the River Thames.
Many events have shaped London into what it is today and as the years roll by and new architectural styles change the overall appearance, London still retains its historical identity, its famous pageantry, secret places and oddities.
As I am an Official London Guide it will be my pleasure to escort you on private tours of London, during which you can ask as many questions as you like and stop to take photographs wherever you want to.
There are various aspects of London life that can be incorporated into a tour with a particular theme. Whatever you would like to do just contact me at my email address below. I hope to meet you soon. By the way that's me on Holiday in Greece, not on the job.
