Why you’ll love this…
  • See top landmarks such as St Paul's Cathedral, the Tower of London and the London Eye
  • Join a cruise on the River Thames to see London from a different point of view
  • Ride along on an open-top double-decker bus as you see the sights
What to expect

Ride the open-top double-decker bus for one, two or three days hopping on and off at any of the stops conveniently located close to famous landmarks and attractions. Admire the Tower Bridge, Marble Arch, and the iconic Big Ben as you listen to the commentary available on board. You can hop off the bus to explore as often as you wish, and rejoin the tour once you're ready.

The Red Route showcases the best of central London. Traveling as far as Victoria and Marble Arch in the west and the Tower of London in the east, you’ll see the most iconic landmarks of the city including Buckingham Palace, Westminster Abbey, the Houses of Parliament and Big Ben, the London Eye and St. Paul’s.

You're also welcome to join a free river cruise on the Thames with every ticket. See London from a different perspective and admire the top London attractions lining the Thames including Tower Bridge, HMS Belfast, Shakespeare’s Globe and the Tate Modern. Enjoy a one-way cruise between Westminster Pier and the Tower of London (in either direction). Essential and Explore ticket holders can discover the city on foot with complimentary walking tours. These walking tours give you access to areas that you can’t visit by bus, while guides reveal historical facts and fascinating stories about famous London buildings and cultural institutions.
