We have written several articles in our London Guide about popular bus routes in the public transportation system in London. But, today we would like to share with you a very different bus route, one that is available during November and December at which you can witness the most beautiful Christmas lights all across London.
Lots of people come to London before Christmas to visit the traditional Christmas markets and to do some Christmas shopping. But, considering the size of the city and the fact that tourists often don’t know the best ways to manuver the city, it can often be hard to discover all the areas and all the beautiful buildings and areas worth taking a closer look at. But, several companies in London are trying to help you with this by arranging bus trips taking you to the most popular and beautiful areas in London for those in love with beautiful Christmas lights.
At the tour referred to above, you can travel with a traditional London Double-Decker. The trip starts by London Eye and from there the the trip takes you cross several bridges, close to beautiful parks, and of course you will see buildings such as the Buckingham Palace, the Marble Arch, the Royal Courts of Justice, and many others. You will also see the Regent Street Christmas lights and other key sights, including Trafalgar Square, Piccadilly Circus, London Eye, Tower of London and Tower Bridge.
You can see the full route of the Christmas lights bus in London below.
This is a guided bus tour, so if you join the tour, you will listen to a guide tell you funny and interesting stories about the places you visit and see from the bus. It is important to understand that this is a bus-tour that lasts for approximately 90 minutes, but during times with heavy traffic, it might last even longer. Do not forget that this is not a hop-on hop-off bus, meaning that you have to stay on the bus for the entire ride.
The earliest bus trips normally start around 16.30, and the last buses leave around 21.00.
This is one of many programs ideal for an interesting afternoon or evening in London in both November and December.
