Love London? See it your way with an unlimited hop-on hop-off bus ticket, complete with stops at must-sees, audio guides, and an optional Thames River cruise.

    • Sightsee like a pro – a 1-day or 24/48-hour pass lets you hop on and off as much as you like because London's best bits deserve a second look.

    • No stress, no sprinting as buses swing by every 15-30 mins across three routes and 39 stops. Take your time, the city’s not going anywhere!

    • Fancy a river break? The 24 or 48-hour pass gets you a Thames cruise from Westminster or Tower Piers.

    • Ride high on an open-top double-decker while an 11-language audio guide dishes out London’s best stories, minus the dull history lecture.

    • Stops you simply can’t skip: the mighty Tower of London, the buzzing lights of Piccadilly Circus, and the picture-perfect Tower Bridge.

    • 1-day, 24/48-hour unlimited hop-on hop-off bus tour
    • Access to Red, Blue & Green routes
    • One-way Thames cruise OR two-way Thames cruise on the same day (based on option selected)
    • Classic Routemaster bus ride from Trafalgar Square (based on option selected)
    • Free walking tours (based on option selected)
    • Audio guide in English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Mandarin Chinese, Portuguese, Russian, Polish & Arabic (on the bus)
    • Free activity booklet and kids' audio guide in English (only on Blue route)
  • You can cancel these tickets up to 24 hours before the experience begins and get a full refund.

    The bus was clean. The employees on and off the bus were friendly and helpful. The Hop On Hop Off bus is the best way to learn about the city.

    Ticket purchase was easy & good online👍 with tickets sent to my email. Loved the hopon hopoff buses and the boat trip along the Thames was excellent. But finding the bus stops was tricky without the bus map and knowledge if London. Better signage if bus stops is needed and need to ensure everyone has thebus route map.
