Why We Think It’s Great:

Tons of incredible films have been shot, at least in part, in and around London. Whether you’re a lifelong fan of James Bond, you love getting lost in the magic of Harry Potter, or are captivated by the Downton Abbey series, one of these Black Cab movie tours is sure to satisfy.

The film sites aren’t always close together, making walking tours impractical, so opting for a set of wheels is the most reasonable option. But we don’t think you should settle for just any tour guide.

Black Cab drivers know the streets of London better than anyone, and that’s no cliche. To earn the coveted title, they must study for years and pass a rigorous test proving they know every street and traffic trend in London well enough to pick the best route any and every time. Their love for and knowledge of the area make them the best tour guides.
