More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You climb into a black cab as the city exhales—buses sigh, the River Thames dares you with a silver flash, and Trafalgar Square slides into view through the window. The driver-guide eases through London streets, stopping for short walks where pavements open onto history: Big Ben’s clock face, the careful stone of Westminster Abbey, and the tight alleys of Covent Garden where theatre posters still curl at the edges.
