Hop on an open-top double-decker bus to see London's twinkling Christmas lights
City Sightseeing London: Christmas Lights Bus Tour is a seasonal open-top double-decker bus tour in London, taking passengers through the city's most celebrated streets and squares during the festive period.
The tour travels past the illuminated displays that appear across London each winter, including the decorated shopping streets and public spaces that draw visitors to the city at this time of year. Passengers ride on the open-top deck, giving unobstructed views of the lights above and around the route. Tickets cover the bus journey itself, allowing guests to sit back and take in the festive atmosphere across the city without navigating the crowds on foot.
Weather Preparation: Dress warmly in layers as the open-top bus can be cold during winter evenings. Complimentary blankets are provided but additional clothing is recommended for comfort. • Peak Season Booking: Christmas light tours are extremely popular and often sell out during December weekends. Book through tickadoo well in advance to secure your preferred departure time. • Photography Tips: Bring a camera or smartphone for stunning photos of London's Christmas displays. The enhanced bus position provides excellent photo opportunities unavailable from street level. • Departure Location: Tours typically depart from central London locations including Trafalgar Square or similar tourist hubs. Check your specific departure point when booking your tickets. • Tour Duration: Allow 90 minutes for the complete tour plus additional time for arrival and boarding. Plan dinner or other activities accordingly around your tour schedule. • Family Considerations: This tour is suitable for all ages and particularly magical for children. Consider bringing snacks and entertainment for younger passengers during the 90-minute journey. • Seasonal Timing: Tours run from mid-November through early January. The best displays are typically active from late November through New Year, with peak illumination during December evenings.
