For visitors unfamiliar with the
system, London Taxi Drivers have to undertake rigorous testing
over a long period of time (sometimes up to 4 years or more).
This is known worldwide as ‘THE KNOWLEDGE’.
The Public Carriage Office does not allow a driver to work
as a London Taxi Driver until they are certain that a driver
has achieved the high level of excellence that is required
in order to earn their ‘green badge’.
The Knowledge involves learning London’s streets,
alleyways, one-way systems, places of interest, hotels,
embassies, restaurants etc. The list goes on … and
on ……….. an on!
Why book a personal tour by taxi?

which equates to approximately £10 an hour for each

as the service includes pick up and drop off to and from
your Central London location.

i.e. spending more time at a certain location.
