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.

Villains and Gangsters tour

Six of us friends did this tour and it was fantastic. Dave was really knowledgeable and it was fun and interesting and nothing was too much trouble.
Will definitely do another of his tours.
A great way to see London and its history

Totally agree with the other reviewers. Wonderful experience. Taking Dave's cab took the hassle out of exploring London and his well researched information and stories were just right to keep our interest without us being overwhelmed. We visited some places we knew of but wouldn't have known to find them. It was a lovely fun day in Dave's beautifully clean cab, hearing some amazing stories and no worries about finding toilets and he knows of great places to eat and picnic. Definitely recommend most highly.
Interesting and enjoyable day out in London

What a fantastic day we had on this villain & Gangster tour.
Dave was on top form with all the information concerning the finer details off our tour.
Thank you so much for your expertise and we look forward to seeing you in December for our Xmas light & Kew Gardens evening out.
We couldn’t wish for anything better.
