If you want to see a host of London’s attractions in one joyful day, London bus tours are the way to go. Why go on foot when you can embrace the sheer fun of pootling through the city on a double-decker, getting a bird's eye view of historic buildings that just don't look the same from street level? Plus, there's no need to wear out your trainers or elbow your way through crowds.
Once, London bus tours had a faintly cheesy reputation, but these days they take in everything from fine dining to James Bond to ghosts alongside the classic sights. Spoilt for choice? We’ve rounded up the best London bus tours for you to take your pick. Our choice selection includes open-top classics that enable you to tick off your favourite landmarks one by one, spooky tours by twilight, and even a Harry Potter bus tour that takes in all the bespectacled boy wizard’s trips around the capital, from King’s Cross to Number 12 Grimmauld Place.
