Silk Roads, short courses, and a VERY Christmassy cab ride

Some great Black Friday deals for you, too.

Climb aboard the Black Cab Grotto this Christmas

Here’s a magical festive experience your kids will remember forever: riding around London with Father Christmas himself. Gett’s Black Cab Grotto — in the capital for one day only — is a chance to do just that, while raising money for charity too.

On Saturday 7 December, board an iconic London black cab at Hanover Square with Santa, and take a 5-10 minute circular ride, sharing stories and snapping photos as you go, while passing some of London’s Christmas sights and lights.

Spaces at Gett’s Black Cab Grotto are limited, with tickets available now. All proceeds will be donated to The Childhood Trust’s Christmas Tree Appeal, keeping some of London’s most vulnerable children safe this Christmas.
