What Lies Beneath Charterhouse Square?🕯️
Today, Charterhouse Square is a peaceful pocket of London. But in 1348, people came here for a very different reason.

The Black Death had arrived.

As plague swept through the capital, the city's existing burial grounds struggled to cope. Land at what is now Charterhouse Square was turned into an emergency cemetery. A chapel was built nearby so prayers could be said for the victims, and in 1371 a Carthusian monastery was established beside the burial ground, beginning the story of the London Charterhouse.

Nearly seven centuries later, the square gives little indication of the scale of death once associated with it.

Sometimes London's history isn't hanging on a museum wall, it's underneath your feet.
🚖 This Halloween, look closer and discover the centuries of history hidden beneath the streets with Black Cab Heritage Tours.

A magnificent Norwegian spruce makes its journey every November to Trafalgar Square, to mark the start of the festive season. A gift from the people of Norway, given each year as a symbol of gratitude for Britain's support during the Second World War.

Standing beneath its lights, surrounded by carol singers, historic landmarks and the excitement of the season, it's easy to understand why this is one of the most treasured festive traditions.

Come with a list but leave a little room for London to surprise you.

Our private tours can take you to the sights you’ve been waiting to see, but some of the best moments happen when your guide adds a stop you never knew to ask for.

That might mean turning down a street to reveal a piece of history, finding a viewpoint away from the crowds, or hearing a story that completely changes the way you see the neighbourhood around you.

It’s one of the reasons our tours feel different. Local knowledge gives you the freedom to experience the London highlights while still making space for the unexpected.

See the places on your list and discover the ones that should have been on it. And perhaps finish the day feeling like you’ve explored London with a new friend.

London celebrates Christmas where festive magic isn't confined to one square or one market. It stretches across royal parks, historic streets, hidden courtyards and world-famous shopping avenues, each adding another chapter to London's festive tradition.

One moment you're standing beneath the towering Norwegian tree in Trafalgar Square. The next, you're looking up at Regent Street's angels before wandering through the twinkling streets of Covent Garden or discovering hidden corners tucked away beyond the crowds.

That's what our guides love most, to reveal the stories that have illuminated the capital for generations.
Over the coming weeks, we'll be sharing those stories with you here.

✨ Let us know in the comments, which London Christmas tradition is your favourite experience?

Who was calling that night in Mayfair.
You're inside one of the neighbourhood’s grand houses when you hear the telephone ring…

You answer and as a voice comes through the receiver, you hear footsteps. Not outside on the pavement, but inside the house, and they're getting closer. 👣

It sounds like the beginning of a classic ghost story, but it forms part of the darker tales of London. Mayfair might be known today for luxury hotels and Michelin-starred restaurants, but the streets hold centuries of stories involving murder, mysterious deaths, restless and unexplained encounters. 🌙

And as for who was supposedly on the other end of that telephone call and what happened when those footsteps reached the door?
We're not giving away the ending that easily!

Some stories are better heard after dark, from the safety of your own black cab.
🚕 Join our Ghastly Ghosts Private Tour and discover the stories lurking behind some of London's most respectable doors.

Long before London's Christmas lights became famous around the world, one bright idea changed everything.

In 1881, the Savoy Theatre became the first public building to be illuminated entirely by electricity, introducing "fairy lights". More than seventy years later, Regent Street launched Britain's very first street-wide Christmas light display, setting a tradition that continues to enchant us every winter.

Today, those sparkling displays have become part of London's identity. Visitors arrive from across the globe to experience the festivities, but behind every light is a story waiting to be discovered.

And this is only where your Christmas journey begins. Discover the holiday magic with Black Cab Heritage Tours. https://bit.ly/4ACI3gk
