London Christmas Lights Bus Tour
Christmas Bus in London
Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock… Christmas is here! Seasonal songs and lights are taking over the streets of the British capital.
To experience it for yourselves, we'll meet at your chosen departure point and begin this unforgettable journey aboard the London Christmas bus. The bus features two levels: the enclosed, lower deck, sheltered from the cold and rain, and the open-top upper deck.
Along the route, you'll see the iconic Regent Street angels and the magical Oxford Street stars. This gives you the perfect opportunity to take beautiful photos and admire the decorations from a unique perspective.
A live English-speaking guide will accompany you on the double-decker bus, sharing details about the most special moments of Christmas in London and popular local traditions. How do the British celebrate the winter holidays? What are the most famous Christmas carols? You’re in for a surprise!
After a panoramic tour with no stops that lasts between 1 hour and 15 minutes and 1.5 hours, the London Christmas bus tour will conclude back at the starting point.
