Bustronome London Review (2026): What to Expect & Prices

Is Bustronome London worth it? Our verdict

If you want to come away having enjoyed a full evening out with a sense of occasion - the six-course meal combining British and French dishes and the chance to pair it with Champagne and wine - Bustronome London is a strong choice.

Bustronome London pairs a gourmet meal with panoramic city views aboard a luxury double-decker bus, letting guests dine as the capital’s landmarks glide past beneath a fully glazed roof. Guests board the Bustronome coach where staff take coats and seat diners before the meal begins.

Booking Wolf's price is £117 per person, £13 (10%) below the £130 Viator lists. An audio guide is provided for this shared experience, which begins at Bustronome.

Skip it if you want a cheaper alternative or you prefer a meal with wine included as standard.

Or spend the evening on City Cruises' London Dinner Cruise on the Thames River (£62.10 per person, 8/10 on our own popularity score), a dining cruise rather than a food tour, lasting 3 hours and cheaper per person.

Its tours pick up about 3 new reviews a month on the sites we track (roughly 30 bookers a month, our own estimate) - 4/10 on the Booking Wolf popularity scale.
