You slide into the mottled leather of a traditional black cab, the city unfolding beyond the rain-specked window. The Thames curves like a silver ribbon daring you to trace its banks; St. Paul's dome and the ornate façade of Westminster alternate through traffic and light. Your driver-guide sets the tempo — conversational, expert, and ready to reroute around a parade or extend a photo stop.
