    Was able to see all the best parts of the capital in a short amount of time whilst enjoying the open top views on a beautifully sunny day. The commentary was also helpful.

    It was fine until mid day when three stops were not operating without warning and disrupted our plans. End of the day at Tower of London we waited for over 45 minutes and finally decided to pay to ride the river boat back.
