Activity description
Experience the wonder and excitement of London at Christmas time with an open-top bus tour of the best festive light displays.
Discover the beauty of London at night during the festive period with a Christmas Lights Bus Tour. Escape the chaos of the busy streets and admire the illumination displays that cover the streets of the vibrant capital. See iconic landmarks, streets, and shop windows shine in festive glory as ornaments, Christmas trees, and twinkling lights adorn the city.
This 90-minute tour will take you through the famous city, offering views like no other! Get up close to the lights from the upper deck of the bus, or watch them through the windows of the heated lower deck. Enjoy views of the iconic angels of Regent Street or the magical stars of Oxford Street*. You'll have spectacular photo opportunities along the way as you see the displays from a new perspective.
Guided by a London expert, enjoy live commentary throughout the tour and hear fun facts and stories as you pass historic buildings, iconic landmarks, and ancient streets.
