Create some amazing memories with your loved ones on one of the first and best-known afternoon tea bus tours in London. Travel round the city at a leisurely pace to experience a sightseeing trip like no other, all whilst treating yourself to a scrumptious array of treats!
The Afternoon Tea Bus London Tours offer you the chance to completely relax and discover the most famous landmarks in the capital while sat down in a 1960's double decker Routemaster bus. The bus tour will last approximately 90 minutes and see you take in the historical sights and famous buildings that London is known for, like Big Ben and Downing Street.

We thoroughly enjoyed our time on the bus. The staff were very attentive and polite. Served with a smile.
This novel way of taking afternoon tea on a converted double decker bus was a delight! The food was delicious and varied and the service was excellent. We would recommend going outside the June to August time as it was steaming hot and the traffic in London was heavy and slow-moving so we didn’t see as many attractions in the time allowed.
We have had afternoon tea before. But this was totally different. To be transported around the main tourist spots, whilst the waiters served us tea and cake and with us listening to the commentry, itwas a fun and unique experience.
What agreat time we hadsinging and the staff were brilliant great knowledge of the tour I recommend it to my. Friends
Exquisite, quirky amazing afternoon tea with London landmarks, very attentive staff. Would highly recommend.
My friends and i had such a good time, we were sad when it ended! loved the cakes and sandwiches, and the choice of teas was good. Would love to do again.
Bought as a treat for my sister. We both had a lovely time and the food was amazing, a great way to see London. No toilet on the bus though.
