Private Tour: 'Downton Abbey London Locations by Taxi

After selecting a tour duration to suit your schedule, depart from your central London hotel in a traditional Hackney black cab. Get acquainted with your courteous driver and receive an entertaining introduction to London's 20th-century aristocratic society that inspired Downtown Abbey. 

Travel to the historical heart of London and explore the prestigious districts of Mayfair, Belgravia, Westminster and the City of London, popular haunts of the English gentry in the 20th century. Step out of your cab to admire the frontage of the house that served as the Grantham’s family residence  

Pass prestigious gentlemen’s clubs that Lord Grantham is sure to have frequented and browse sophisticated shops that used to sell opulent costumes directed to affluent ladies. Listen to tales of the poverty-ridden slums of London as a stark contrast to the aristocracy, and then stroll around genteel areas famed for their regal residents. 

If you opt for the 4-hour tour, spend time admiring more buildings and shops featured in the series, or visit the grounds of the Grantham’s London home and lunch in a  500-year-old Tudor restaurant (own expense) on the full-day tour. 

Conclude your tour with drop-off at another central London location. 

Please note: all tour options include coffee breaks (own expense), restroom stops, and complimentary water. Depending on availability and group size, you might end up in an old-style black cab or a newer black cab. The maximum passengers per taxi is six.
