About this experience
<p>This vintage double-decker afternoon tea bus tour pairs a classic British tea service with a rolling tour of central London. Seated at tables aboard a beautifully restored retro bus, you'll be served finger sandwiches, warm scones with clotted cream and jam, and a selection of handcrafted pastries and cakes, alongside a choice of premium loose-leaf teas or coffee. It's a two-in-one outing: the sit-down elegance of a proper afternoon tea combined with the moving scenery of a city sightseeing tour.</p><p>The upper deck's wide windows frame passing views of Buckingham Palace, Big Ben, the Houses of Parliament, Westminster Abbey, St Paul's Cathedral, Tower Bridge, and the South Bank as the bus makes its way through London. Each course is timed to the journey, so there's no rush between the sandwiches, scones, and desserts — onboard staff keep teacups topped up and point out landmarks along the way. The bus is fully sheltered, so the experience runs regardless of the weather.</p><p>The tour lasts around 1.5 hours from departure to return, following a set route through some of London's best-known sights. Tickets are timed and capacity is limited by the size of the vintage bus, with separate sessions available on weekdays and weekends. Vegetarian and gluten-free menu options are typically available if requested in advance.</p>
What to expect
<p>You'll meet at the central London departure point at your booked time, where staff check you in and guide you to your seat aboard the vintage double-decker. The upper deck is the most sought-after spot, combining elevated views with the day's elegantly laid table settings. Shortly after departure, the tea service begins with a welcome drink — loose-leaf tea or freshly brewed coffee — followed by the first course of finger sandwiches.</p><p>As the bus winds through central London, the courses unfold in sequence: sandwiches, then warm scones with clotted cream and jam, then a final spread of pastries, cakes, and desserts. Outside the window, the route takes in Buckingham Palace, the Embankment, Tower Bridge, Westminster, and St Paul's Cathedral. Staff circulate throughout to refill drinks, handle dietary requests, and call out landmarks as they pass. After roughly 1.5 hours, the bus returns you to the original boarding point in central London.</p>
Things to note
- Book in advance — seating is limited by the size of the vintage bus and sessions can sell out, especially on weekends
- Request vegetarian or gluten-free menu options at the time of booking rather than on the day
- Arrive at the departure point in good time before your session to allow for check-in and seating
- The upper deck offers the best views but involves climbing a narrow staircase, so wear practical footwear
- The tour lasts approximately 1.5 hours with no option to stop or disembark along the route
- Dress in layers, as temperatures on the open-window upper deck can vary from the street level below
