The Special Christmas Tour

• For the holidays, the company runs a Special Christmas tour which takes passengers down Regent and Oxford Street --- normally closed to automobile traffic --- to view the Christmas decorations.

Secret London

• The Secret London tour takes participants to places that many tourists to London may never see, or even know about. On this tour, the black taxi will peruse back streets, pointing out locations such as taverns or churches that have centuries of history in the city.

New London - Cool Britannia

• The New London - Cool Britannia tour is exactly the opposite of Secret London. This tour of London takes tourists to places that represent London's current state and London's future. These are sites that represent fashion, design and technology, places that link London to world industries and styles.

Real London

• The Real London tour focuses on specific subgroups within London; subcultures that have made the city's mix of people what it is. Passengers will visit ethnic enclaves, or historical sites such as the birth of Cockney in order to understand who London's people really are.

Designer Tours

• Patrons of Black Taxi Tours are not obligated to choose from one of the company's special tours. Designer two-hour tours are available. In these tours, participants can choose where they would like to go and which sites they would like to visit. Among the sites to choose from are the Tower of London, Westminster Abbey, Soho, Trafalgar Square, Whitehall, Big Ben, Covent Garden, Harrod's, the Houses of Parliament, Picadilly Circus, Downing Street and Buckingham Palace.

Private Use

• Black Taxi Tours can also be booked for private events. The Black Taxi Tour company willingly accommodates weddings, photo shoots, TV and movie shoots, corporate events and trips to airports.
