More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
A black cab eases away from a rain-sheen curb and the driver—part chauffeur, part encyclopaedia—slides into conversation. The city unspools: palace gates, a river that insists on being noticed, narrow alleys that remember Roman carts. In six hours a London cab does more than move you; it stitches together eras, from Roman foundations beneath the City to Victorian facades and glass towers of the Thames-side skyline.
