Description

There can be few better ways of viewing the English capital than from one of its traditional double-decker buses. See all the city's highlights from its open top, with lunch and a river cruise included.

See Westminster Abbey, then head to Buckingham Palace, the official Royal residence of Queen Elizabeth II. Witness the world-famous Changing of the Guard ceremony (only on the morning tour), as the Queen's soldiers, dressed in their fabulous tunics and busbies, march to the might of the accompanying military music.

In the event of no ceremony taking place, the tour will still stop at the palace for photographs.

Following your vintage open-top bus ride you can enjoy a Great British pastime with some of the tastiest fish and chips London has to offer in a traditional Central London pub.

From Buckingham Palace, your vintage open-top bus ride will finish up at a pub in Victoria, where you’ll enjoy an iconic feature of London cuisine. Although they're no longer served in the newspaper, you can’t possibly leave London without sampling a plate of crisply battered fish and piping hot chips!

Good to know before you go
  • A vegetarian option is available but must be ordered at least 24 hours in advance – no alternatives to fish and chips will be available on the day
  • Please note that this is an open-top bus tour - please be prepared for the possibility of rain
  • On rare occasions the open-top bus may be changed to a closed top bus
  • When the guard change does not take place, we stop instead for photos of Buckingham Palace
