Relive moments that defined London's history

Feel the chaos as the plague sweeps through the streets, watch in awe as the Great Fire ignites and flames engulf London’s landscape - only for a new masterpiece to rise from the ashes: Sir Christopher Wren’s breath-taking St Paul’s Cathedral.

Enjoy an impossible moment of celebration at the top of Nelson’s Column, then step into a city at war, where the unmistakable voice of Winston Churchill echoes through the air, uniting a nation in its darkest hour.

Then—boom! The dazzling lights of the swinging ’60s flash before your eyes, Carnaby Street alive with music, rebellion and style. Fast-forward to the bold neon hues of the electrifying ’80s before stepping out of your iconic black cab, filled with the unstoppable Spirit of London, ready to continue your journey.
