Description

London has plenty to see, and this combo ticket gives you two easy ways to explore the capital: from the top of an open-top sightseeing bus and from the River Thames. Pick a 24, 48 or 72-hour hop-on hop-off ticket, then enjoy a return river cruise to Greenwich—all in one handy package.

See London at your own pace by bus

Travel around the capital on the red sightseeing buses and hop off whenever you want to spend more time at a landmark or explore one of London’s famous neighbourhoods. With three routes and stops close to many of London’s best-known sights, it’s simple to plan your day around the places you want to see.

Look out for Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament, admire the dome of St Paul’s Cathedral, or stop near the Tower of London and Tower Bridge. When you’re ready to move on, hop back on board and enjoy the views from the open-top deck.

Sail along the Thames to Greenwich and back

Swap the road for the river and see London from another angle on your included return cruise to Greenwich. As the boat travels along the Thames, you’ll pass riverside landmarks and famous bridges, with great views of London’s skyline along the way. At Greenwich, take time to explore this historic maritime area before returning to Westminster Pier. It’s a lovely way to add a riverside outing to your sightseeing plans without the need to book a separate return ticket.

Choose the ticket that suits your trip

The 24-hour, 48-hour and 72-hour options all include the Greenwich return river cruise. Whether you’re visiting for a quick city break or have a few days to explore, this combo helps you see more of London while keeping your plans flexible.

Book your ticket and enjoy London from both the open road and the river.
