Itinerary so far...

Nothing added

Hi there, I’m Lee Cooper! Looking for a seamless transfer from Tilbury to central London with a touch of sightseeing? This private transfer tour is the perfect solution! We'll pick you up directly from the Tilbury port in a classic London Black Cab, head straight to your central London hotel to drop off your luggage, and then embark on a panoramic tour of London's iconic landmarks. At the end of the sightseeing tour, we will drop you safely back at your hotel, making your entire transfer an enriching and completely stress-free experience.

Tilbury to Central London

Your driver, Westminster Guide Shane Healy, will meet you at Tilbury Port in his private Black Cab to whisk you toward the city, sharing local history along the way. To ensure your comfort, Shane will first drive you to your central London hotel to drop off your luggage. Once you're bag-free, I will meet you at your hotel or Tower Bridge to jump in as your personal guide and bring the city to life! The itinerary is completely flexible, so just let me know what you'd love to see.

  • Houses of Parliament & Big Ben: Marvel at the iconic clock tower and the seat of British government. Capture stunning photos of this architectural masterpiece.
  • Westminster Abbey: See the historic coronation church where monarchs are crowned and notable figures are buried.
  • Buckingham Palace: Witness the Changing of the Guard ceremony (subject to schedule and availability – can’t be guaranteed in a short tour). Even if the ceremony isn't on, the Palace itself is a sight to behold.
  • London Eye: A giant Ferris wheel on the South Bank of the River Thames in London.
National Gallery and fountain.
  • Trafalgar Square: Take in the vibrant atmosphere of this central London hub, dominated by Nelson's Column and the National Gallery.
  • Piccadilly Circus: Experience the dazzling lights and billboards of London's entertainment district.
  • Tower Bridge: Admire the iconic Victorian bridge and learn about its history.
  • The Tower of London: A brief stop to view the historic fortress and former royal residence.

The Power of a Dedicated Team

The true secret to this experience is our unique division of labour. While my partner Shane—a qualified London cabbie and fellow Westminster guide—navigates the city streets, I am completely free to focus entirely on you as your personal step-on guide. With an expert at the wheel handling the traffic, we offer a seamless, premium journey packed with rich historical insights and authentic cabbie storytelling.

Round-Trip Hotel Convenience

To make your day completely hassle-free, your Tilbury Transfer Tour includes an initial stop at your Central London hotel or accommodation to safely drop off your heavy luggage before the sightseeing begins. Then, once the tour is finished, we will drive you right back to your hotel to conclude your day. For final drop-offs or alternative logistics at a different location, please contact us for a personalised quote.

  • All-Inclusive Fee: Fully inclusive of guide (Lee) + driver (Shane), private professional guiding services, door-to-door transportation, all city parking fees, and road tolls.
  • Accessibility: Shane's London Black Cab is wheelchair-accessible and permitted in areas restricted to regular vehicles. Accommodates up to 4 passengers with luggage or up to 5 passengers without.
  • Luggage & Group Size: For your comfort and to ensure there's enough room for luggage (one large case and one hand luggage per person), we limit the number of passengers in the cab to a maximum of 4.
  • Flexible Itineraries: Please note that actual tour destinations may vary depending on weather, traffic, and your preferred drop-off location.
  • A quick tip: if you’d like to go inside certain monuments, I recommend booking those tickets online in advance, as some locations require them.
