Guests can enjoy a private tour of the capital’s world-famous festive lighting

This year, the famous streets of London are shining with festive lights, including the traditional "Christmas spirit" display on Regent Street.

In 1954, 300,000 LED lights dazzled Londoners for the first time, and since then inspired other festival displays in the city, which are now well-known worldwide.

Although many people may like to visit these beautiful exhibitions on foot, visitors can choose to take the iconic black taxi to comfortably experience the charm of the festival.

The taxi can accommodate up to 5 people, the tour can be personalized, and guests have many opportunities to stop and walk a short distance, take some photos of the experience, and even enjoy some refreshments along the way.

The tour starts at 4pm, and the time is up to the guests. Groups can even bring a bottle of sparkling stuff.
