Check out our money-saving Bus + London Eye package and you’ll see what we mean!
British Museum: The British Museum is absolutely unmissable! Despite its name, it’s not all about Britain. Instead, it’s one of the world’s biggest collections of artefacts from some of history’s most important cultures. There’s everything from Egyptian mummies to the Rosetta Stone.
Why is our London hop-on hop-off bus brilliant for families?

On our Blue Route, kids get their own commentary and a free “London Quest” booklet! Your mini detectives will join Mia Cloo to explore London, taking part in quizzes, solving puzzles and completing the quest as they learn all about London!
From the top deck of our bus, you’ll see all London’s history. Both past and the history that’s being made today. In a city whose story is told on its streets, there’s no better way to travel. Our hop-on hop-off ticket really is the most flexible, practical way to discover London.
