All kinds of London tours in one place
London doesn’t really need an introduction, does it? What most visitors do need, though, is an easy way to fit its big sights into the time they have. City Sightseeing offers a selection of London tours and attractions, including:
- London bus tours on iconic red double-deckers
- Thames river cruises with views of the skyline
- Tickets for landmark attractions across the capital
- Combo options that bring together tours and entrances
Many travellers start with a panoramic London bus tour, using double-deckers to travel between neighbourhoods while enjoying views from the open upper deck. Others prefer to see the skyline from the water on a river cruise along the Thames, or to go straight to a famous attraction they’ve always wanted to visit.
To make planning easier, many products include: flexible tickets, mobile vouchers and free cancellation on selected products.
London sightseeing bus tours (open-top views)
Seeing London from street level is great, but getting up high on an open-top bus gives you the kind of panoramic views that make the city feel instantly familiar. Our London sightseeing bus tours are a simple, comfortable way to take in the capital’s most iconic streets, riverside scenes and landmark architecture in one go, with plenty of photo moments along the way.
See all the landmarks from the top deck
From the upper deck you’ll spot many of London’s headline sights as you travel through the heart of the city, including:
- Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament: the clock tower at the Palace of Westminster, home to the famous bell known as Big Ben, is one of the capital’s most recognisable sights.
- Trafalgar Square and the National Gallery: a lively square framed by the National Gallery and Nelson’s Column, a classic place to begin a day of sightseeing. Several London bus tours stop nearby, making it easy to step straight into the heart of the city
- Trafalgar Square: a lively square framed by the National Gallery and Nelson’s Column, a classic place to begin a day of sightseeing. Several London bus tours stop nearby, making it easy to step straight into the heart of the city.
You’ll also pass through some of London’s most recognisable areas, perfect for quick photos and a real sense of the city’s character, from grand ceremonial streets to lively cultural quarters.
What to expect on a London sightseeing bus tour
Each tour varies by product, but City Sightseeing experiences are designed to make London easy to explore, combining open-top views with helpful insights that add context to what you see along the way.
- Open-top seating for panoramic city views: Enjoy skyline views and photo-worthy moments from the upper deck as you travel past some of London’s most recognisable streets and landmarks.
- Stories and local insights that bring London to life: As you travel, you’ll pick up fascinating details that help you understand the city beyond the landmarks. For example, the historic City of London is just over one square mile with a resident population of around 9,000, yet it sits within Greater London, home to roughly 8.5 million people. You may also discover well-known London quirks, such as “Big Ben” referring to the bell inside the clock tower, not the tower itself, or hear about small curiosities like the mice of Philpot Lane, one of the tiniest public statues in the city with a memorable backstory.
- Mobile vouchers for easy access: Use your ticket on your phone and get started without printing.
- Flexible tickets and free cancellation on selected products: Helpful if your plans change while you’re in the city.
Tip: For the best photos, aim for a top-deck seat and bring an extra layer — London weather can change quickly, even in summer.
