London Hop-On Hop-Off Bus Tour: Three Routes, Audio Guide and a Thames Cruise

Want to see London's big sights on one ticket and at your own pace? This London hop-on hop-off bus tour lets you board open-top double-deckers wherever you like and spend as long as you want at each stop.

How the ticket works

With the flexible pass you choose the date you ride. The one-day ticket is valid until the end of service on the day booked, and the 24-hour ticket runs from the time of issue to the same time the next day. You can use different bus routes, and a one-way cruise on the River Thames is included. The audio guide is provided on the bus.

Routes and frequency

The red route runs from 08:30 to 18:00 every 10 to 15 minutes; the blue route from 08:40 to 17:00 every 30 minutes; and the green route from 09:18 to 16:50 every 30 minutes. Check the London City Tour website for the latest timetable and stops.

Thames cruise and family tickets

For the cruise, show your cruise ticket to City Cruises staff at Westminster Pier or Tower Pier; the cruise is subject to availability. The Family Pack covers two adults (16 and over) and two children (5 to 15). Pets are not allowed except service animals, and tips are not included.

How booking works

Choose your date and number of guests and send your request; at this stage we only place a hold on your card. We check availability with the operator, email you when we confirm and take the payment at that point. If the request cannot be fulfilled, we email you and your card is not charged.
