ABOUT BLACK CAB HERITAGE TOURS
Some companies are built in boardrooms. Ours was built in a London pub, over a pint, between friends who believed travellers deserved learning about London’s rich history and discovering its many hidden gems in an efficient and fun way.
Built on Passion. Driven by Knowledge
It was 2008, and the conversation was simple, visitors to one of the world’s greatest cities were being herded onto crowded hop-on-hop-off buses with muffled speakers or shuttled around in soulless luxury cars that missed the point entirely.
That’s when this group of friends decided to create a tour business that combined the best of London, its vibrant culture and its people providing high-quality experiences.
“ The best tours in London don’t just visit the landmarks and points of interest, they bring the city to life through the stories, and the characters who tell them.”

OUR BLACK CABS. A FLEET BUILT AROUND YOUR EXPERIENCE
Our fleet has been carefully chosen to match every journey, group and need. Our iconic Black Cabs remain the heart of what we do.
- Fully accessible Fleet - Each cab includes is wheelchair-friendly vehicles featuring ramps, hearing loops, and step-free access as standard, with swivel seating, grab handles, and space for pushchairs or mobility aids without dismantling them.
- Face-to-face seating - The rear cabin is arranged for conversation, letting you comfortably interact with your guide and companions rather than sitting in rows.
- Comfort in every season - Climate control, large windows, and an open communication partition create a relaxed private environment throughout the journey.
- Smooth and quiet ride - Our modern taxis glide through the streets with minimal noise and specially tuned suspension for London’s uneven roads.
- Spacious by design - The traditional high roof and flat floor mean you can sit upright with generous legroom, while wide-opening doors make stepping in and out easy for all ages.
- Panoramic views - Our TXE models feature panoramic glass roofs for unobstructed views of London.
Giving Back to the City We Love
We take pride in looking after our own. We're proud sponsors of the Magic Taxi Tour, providing four cabs each year to give children with life-threatening illnesses the trip of a lifetime to Disneyland Paris.
Alongside this, we continue to support local charities and fundraising efforts across the city, because the spirit of London has always been about looking after one another.
From that first conversation to thousands of exceptional experiences, our mission has never changed: share London's stories with the world, one black cab at a time.
