Taking in the best views of Central London, their iconic double-decker Routemaster bus will take you past some of Paddington’s favourite London landmarks, and you can be sure you’ll hear about some of his fun adventures and mishaps!
This Paddington-approved tour includes Big Ben, The Houses of Parliament, Westminster Abbey, Hyde Park, Nelson’s Column, Downing Street, St. Paul’s Cathedral, Borough Market, Green Park, Piccadilly Circus, and much more.
Each table comes with a special built-in screen providing guests with a Paddington-guided animation of the tour of London. Paddington and Mrs Bird will be telling you all about some of the City’s most famous landmarks and share the beloved bear’s view of the world.
From November to early January, you’ll be able to enjoy the spectacular Regent Street Christmas Lights on their 17:30 Paddington tour, turning your afternoon tea bus tour into a dazzling experience.
They have a range of menus to cater for all requirements and preferences and offer Traditional, Vegan, Vegetarian, Halal, and Gluten-free. Due to the length of the tour and having no toilets on board the bus, their Paddington Tours are best suited, and enjoyed, by children of 5 years and over.
