Hi, I'm Lee Cooper, a born and bred East Londoner and a London taxi driver for 30 years. I know London inside out!

I'm a member of the Worshipful Company of Hackney Carriage Drivers, which makes me a Liveryman of the Company. I also have the Freedom of the City of London, which means I can drive my sheep over London Bridge for free (or be hanged with a silk rope if I'm naughty!).

I can show you around London and tell you about its 2,000 years of history. From the arrival of the Romans in 43 AD to the present day, there's a lot to see and learn. We can explore the city from the comfort of a purpose-built, fully wheelchair compliant, air-conditioned London taxi or on foot, depending on your preference.

All of my tours are tailored to your interests. We can visit all of the main attractions or go off the beaten path. You can choose to drive around with my designated driver so I can concentrate on showing and telling you about the sites, or we can walk and get up close and personal to the places we visit.

I've been doing cab tours since 2012 and love meeting people from all over the world. I can be booked for a few hours or a full day, in or out of London. If you prefer an unhurried leisurely tour, we can stop and take plenty of photographs. Lunch or afternoon tea can be arranged, or we can visit an old London pub to soak up the atmosphere.

I'm a reliable and easygoing London Cabbie who will make your tour truly memorable. I'm also a keen cook, jewellery maker, and dog walker. I love showing people around our city and sharing my knowledge of its history and culture. I've made many friends over the years and hope to make many more.

Please don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or would like to book a tour. I'll be happy to answer any questions or give advice on anything you would like to know about booking a tour while you're holidaying in London.

I look forward to meeting you and showing you around my city!

Our customers say...

"I recently had the pleasure to attend a guided walk around London with a very knowledgeable and interest guide - Lee Cooper. I had worked for many years in London but I was surprised to be shown a variety of fascinating places I had never seen before. Together with hearing the stories of these places and people who lived there. It was one of those days I did not want to end and it left me wanting to know more about my city and the people who had walked those streets before me. Will definitely be booking another tour with Lee."

"My family and I first met Lee in 2018. Since that time we have had him lead us on tours a total of 4 times around London and the surrounding areas. Lee is knowledgeable, friendly, flexible and all around an amazing tour guide. He knows all the right people, the tips and the tricks, to make your experience special for the entire party. We have toured in Spain, France, Italy, Scotland, and multiple Caribbean islands and Lee is by far our favorite. At this point he’s more of a friend than a tour guide."

"When we first met Lee Cooper on a family trip to England, his natural charm immediately welcomed us to a new country. All smiles and clever quips, Lee makes you forget that you've just met him; instead, he feels like someone you've known your whole life! We sat down in his cab, and he magically lifted the veil on myriad locations around England. We laughed together, shared common stories, and established an immediate rapport because his warm personality is immediately disarming and genuine. As we learned more about the country he loves so much, I realized that he was one of the best storytellers I've ever met! He'd weave tales inside of tales, and the conversation illuminated things about London, Windsor, Stonehenge, and other places that I hadn't known before! At the end of our journey together, Lee gifted us a coin as a memento of our time together and it is something I treasure to this day. The following year, I contacted Lee to be our guide again and show us around Epping, Essex and to take us into London in the evening to see the holiday lights. Lee, being so knowledgeable about all things London, made that evening of beautiful lights one of the most magical of my life. He knows where to go, makes wonderful suggestions and goes above and beyond just touring us around. Whether desiring a tour of London or surrounding area, I highly recommend Lee. It is my hope to go back again and hire Lee for another tour. "
