What to expect

Visit London with City Sightseeing, see the highlights of this bustling capital and explore the largest metropolitan area in the United Kingdom from the top deck of an open-top red bus. Hop on and off wherever you want and discover London at your own pace.

London is packed with plenty of things to see and do, so hop on board the Red Route - specifically designed to take you to all the best spots in the city along more than 20 carefully located stops. Drive through beautiful Hyde Park or along the banks of the Thames. Cross the river on four of the city's famous bridges, including the emblematic Tower Bridge, and snap Instagram-worthy pictures of Big Ben. From St Paul's and Westminster Abbey to the busy Piccadilly Circus and Leicester Square, you'll experience every side of London.
