A chauffeured private Black Cab whisks you from the port gates straight into the heart of London — Westminster, Buckingham Palace, St Paul's and beyond — at your own pace with an expert Westminster-licensed guide at the wheel.
What to expect
Shane — a licensed Westminster Guide and veteran black-cab driver — greets you at Tilbury and drives you via the Thames Embankment into the city. You'll stop for photos at Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament, cruise past Buckingham Palace, and weave through the City to St Paul's Cathedral and Tower Bridge. The cab doubles as a rolling commentary booth: windows wide, stories flowing, no microphone needed.
Good to know
Pick-up is right at the port gates — no onward travel required. A typical full-day run is 7–8 hours, comfortable for a 6 pm all-aboard. Pre-book directly and confirm your ship's all-aboard time so the itinerary is timed precisely. Gratuity is customary.
