Overview

This hop-on hop-off bus tour lets you explore London’s main sights at your own pace using a 24-hour or 48-hour ticket. The ticket includes access to three routes. The Red Route features landmarks such as Big Ben, the Houses of Parliament, the London Eye, and St Paul’s Cathedral. The Blue Route connects Kensington Palace to the Tower of London, passing Harrods, the Natural History Museum, and Notting Hill. The Green Route runs between King’s Cross and St Pancras to Covent Garden, with a stop near the British Museum. With 24- and 48-hour tickets, you can take a one-way Thames River cruise. The 48-hour ticket also includes three live guided walking tours conducted in English. These walks last about one and a half to two hours each and depart from specific stops: the Royal Walk at 10:00 from Stop 8 Trafalgar Square, the Jack the Ripper Walk at 13:00 from Stop 19 Tower of London, and the Harry Potter Walking Tour at 16:00 from Stop 21 Westminster Pier. Additionally, the 48-hour ticket offers a 2-hour non-stop panoramic evening bus tour. The buses provide recorded commentary in seven languages and free onboard Wi-Fi. Please note that the Green Park stop (Stop 1) is partly closed, affecting boarding. The Red Route now starts and ends at Stop 2 Hard Rock Cafe, where customers should board instead of Stop 1. Tickets activate from the moment you first use them, and you can use a mobile voucher or QR code at any Big Bus stop to start your ticket. Infants aged 3 and under travel free without a ticket.
