Have you ever watched a film set in London and thought, “I wish I could go there”? Or you’ve listened to a Beatles song and imagined walking across Abbey Road yourself.
London is full of stories from the big screen and the world of music, and with our themed taxi tours, you can see them all up close.
At Black Taxi Tour London, we bring these famous moments to life. From the magic of Harry Potter to the energy of rock and roll, our expert driver-guides will show you the real places behind your favourite scenes and songs, all from the comfort of an iconic black cab.
If you’re ready to see London in a whole new way, call us on 020 3633 5262 or email info@blacktaxitourlondon.com to start planning your themed adventure today.
See London through the stories you love. From famous film scenes to legendary songs, all from one of our black cabs
The concept of themed taxi tours centres on curating an itinerary focused on a specific cultural interest, such as movies, music, or other topics, rather than simply visiting landmarks. Instead of following a standard sightseeing route, you’ll be driven between filmset locations or musical heritage spots, with our qualified driver-guides providing context, anecdotes and hidden gems.
At Black Taxi Tour London we’ve built our reputation on bespoke, private tours accommodating up to six passengers in an accessible black cab. Our guides know London like the back of their hand (they’ve passed The Knowledge and hold guiding qualifications). This ensures the experience is both comfortable and deeply insightful.
Movie-Lover In London: Touring Filmset Locations In Style
London has hosted countless major films and TV series. On a themed taxi tour dedicated to cinema, we’ll whisk you through locations such as:
- The magical spots used in the Harry Potter films (for example, Leadenhall Market as Diagon Alley)
- Classic James Bond film sets and iconic filming streets
- Hidden alleyways and London backdrops that normally only locals know
You’ll receive the storytelling and context you won’t get from a bus tour, for instance: how a narrow side street became a secret set, or how a famous moment in film was captured despite London’s busy traffic. That immersion is the heart of our themed taxi tours.
Music-Fan In London: From Abbey Road To Camden And Beyond
If your heart beats to a different tempo, our music-centric themed taxi tours have you covered. London’s music heritage is vast: The Beatles at Abbey Road, the rock ‘ n ‘ roll legacy of Camden and Soho, and recording studio legends tucked into unexpected corners. On your tour, we’ll visit stops like:
- Abbey Road Studios and the iconic zebra crossing
- Venues or streets tied to rock, pop or Brit-music history
- Insights into the stories, studios and street scenes that shaped the soundtrack of a generation
Because you’re travelling in a private black cab with a guide who can navigate the city effortlessly, you’ll enjoy more stops, personal stories and photo-opportunities than traditional group tours.
How We Customise Your Themed Taxi Tour
Creating your perfect themed taxi tour is completely in your hands. At Black Taxi Tour London Ltd:
- You tell us your interest (movie franchise, music era, favourite band or film genre)
- We craft a 4-hour or custom-length itinerary that fits up to six guests (and is fully wheelchair-accessible)
- We pick you up from anywhere in central London (or beyond by request)
- We drive, guide, stop for photo-ops, walk short routes, and give you a personal experience
Some sample tour lengths and starting prices: e.g. a 4-hour bespoke taxi tour from £440 per taxi (not per person). This means the cost is for your party of up to six. You can spread that between friends or family.
Practical Tips Before You Book Your Themed Taxi Tour
-
Time & Duration
For a true themed experience, 4 hours is a solid minimum. That gives us enough time to cover major stops and stories without feeling rushed. If you have more to cover (say, a full day), we can build in 6 to 10-hour tour.
-
Pickup Location
We pick up from central London postcodes, but we can pick you up further afield if we plan it. Late pick-ups reduce touring time, so it’s good to book early.
-
Accessibility
All our taxis are wheelchair accessible with ramps. Let us know in advance if any guest has mobility needs, and we’ll tailor stops accordingly.
-
Entry Fees
Unless specified, the tour price covers only the taxi, driver-guide, and route. If your themed tour includes an attraction (studio, filming set, concert venue), you’ll usually need to pay entry separately.
-
Custom Requests
Want to stop for coffee in a rock’n’roll café, visit a recording studio frontage, or park near a film-set moment? Just ask. Our themed taxi tours are flexible and built around you.
