Experience the best sights of London

There's nothing quite like seeing London from your seat upstairs on an open-topped double decker bus. The entire city opens up around you. You'll be able to get on and get off wherever you choose on three different routes which take in all of the major sights - and take your time over it with a choice of 24 hour and 48 hour tickets.

You can see Nelson's Column in Trafalgar Square as well as take a peek over the wall into the gardens at Buckingham Palace - and then there's the sights of exclusive Knightsbridge, home of Harrods and the ultra-rich. As you tour the financial district, you'll see the building that's become known as the Gherkin because of its distinctive shape - as well the ancient Tower of London.

Not just that but you can experience London from street level with walking tours included to see the Changing of the Guard at Buckingham Palace, Rock 'n' Roll London and the exploits of London's most notorious serial killer, Jack the Ripper. Added to all of that is a free Thames River Cruise pass to see London in yet another way: from the ever-changing river that is at the very heart of this amazing city.
