The cab waits under a gaslamp glow; rain-slick cobbles reflect the headlights as the driver eases into narrow alleys where lamplight thins to darkness. Inside a classic black cab, passengers trade nervous laughter while a guide stitches together the city’s grimmer tales—barbers who killed, poltergeists that scratched at shutters, and actors buried in scandal. The Thames murmurs nearby, daring you to follow the story downstream where Roman Londinium met Victorian grit.
