Since the 1950’s the Christmas lights in central London have helped inspire the magic of Christmas. Families from across the world have taken time out of their busy festive schedules to travel to London to see the Christmas lights and the annually changing window displays of the grand London Department Stores such as Fortnum and Mason, and Harrods. In fact, seeing these lights is as much a Christmas tradition as shops that are stuffed like Turkeys, Mince Pies, and Mulled Wine.
But why brave the wild winter air, get wet, and catch a chill when you can see all the best bits of London’s Christmas Lights from the comfort of a London Cab? Starting and finishing at a central London location of your choice, this tour keeps you warm and dry whilst showing you the best bits of Christmas in London. Led by a knowledgeable and qualified driver/guide, they will explain the history of the Christmas Lights and Christmas window displays, as well as sharing some Christmassy London secrets.

Covent Garden
Our first destination Covent Garden market is famous for street performers, boutique market stalls, and Christmas decorations. While exploring Covent Garden market you have time to take photos, buy Christmas gifts, and listen to street performers. During this time your guide will also explain the history of Covent Garden, from its origins as land belonging to the Church, to the modern vibrant marketplace you see today.
As we walk along the Strand, your guide will point out some of the many historical buildings that line this road. These buildings include the world-famous Savoy hotel, a favorite place with celebrities such as Frank Sinatra and JK Rowling, and Coutts Bank, the oldest surviving bank in London, where only the wealthiest and most prestigious of clients can afford to keep their money. Along the way, you will also have the chance to stop and take photographs of the amazing Christmas lights that hang above the main road. If you'd like to stop for the perfect photo of your group, feel free to ask your guide, who will happily recommend the best place to stop and will take a photo of you all.

This was one of the best excursions EVER!!! Our driver, Richard, was fun, courteous, and quite the historian, and went out of his way to ensure we had a spectacular time. We all agreed we could not have chosen a better tour or tour guide. It was absolutely AMAZING!!!!!!!
