This is Chris. A proper Londoner.

Chris loves showing off his home town and making clients feel like they have just stepped into a car with an old friend.

His top three fav things the capital has to offer are:

1. The cultural diversity - you can sample every part of the world in this great city.

2. The fact that it never rains for long. Give it 20 minutes and the sunnies will be out again.

And 3. has to be Arsenal, of course. 😉

The King's Arms is exactly the sort of pub we love showing guests on our tours.

Tucked away in Waterloo, a proper London local.

Good pints, old stories, and the kind of place you would never stumble across on a standard sightseeing route.

These are the corners of London that make exploring the city in a classic Mini rather special.

Happy Birthday to our friends over Just another 333 years to go for us!

London is full of places hiding in plain sight.

From the ruins of St Dunstan-in-the-East to the cobbled corners of Kynance Mews and the Victorian splendour of Leadenhall Market, these are the sorts of spots we love showing guests from the back of a classic Mini.

The landmarks are wonderful, of course. But it is often the hidden corners people remember most.

Meet Ada, our 1996 SPi Mini.

Ada is named after the mother of modern computing (and daughter of Lord Byron) Ada Lovelace.

She’s as brilliant as she is beautiful!

Lillibet and Ada are reflecting on what's been a very wet start to the year. We are all super excited for the sunshine!

London is always a wonderful city, come rain or shine, and there's no better way to see it than from a Classic Mini Cooper.

A quick stop outside Liberty London.

Timber-framed, mock tudor wonder famed for its gorgeous prints for over 150 years.

Quite simply, lovely.
