FAQs

Do the tours stop in front of Buckingham Palace?

No. Public transport and sightseeing buses are not allowed to stop in front of Buckingham Palace.

We do, however, stop a short distance away, 5 minutes' walk from the front of the palace. Hop off here to take pictures, watch the changing of the guard, and perhaps even spot a royal.

What can I see and visit?

Bus stops are conveniently located near popular landmarks and attractions so that you can hop off to explore with ease. You'll see iconic landmarks such as Big Ben, Westminster Abbey, St. Paul's Cathedral and the Tower of London while on board the bus, and Buckingham Palace is a very short walk away from our Royal Mews stop. Visit our Discover London page to learn more about what you can see and visit on our tours, and see our Attractions page to buy tickets for famous London landmarks and attractions.

You're free to hop on and off the bus at any stop as many times as you wish during your tour, or you can choose to stay on board for the entire route.

On which days does the tour operate?

Our London bus tours operate daily. For more information about our current service, please visit our Service Information page.
