Among London’s many amazing highlights that you’ll get to see are: Hop-On Hop-Off London - Red Route Our red Route covers London’s most famous sights, taking in the West End, the Southbank and the City.

The Tower of London has dominated the banks of the this stretch of the Thames for a thousand years. It’s home to the famous Beefeaters and the ravens that can never leave for fear of England falling! Big Ben: No visit to London is complete without seeing Big Ben! You’ll get brilliant views of this stunning clock tower as you approach along the bank of the river. You’ve probably heard that the name Big Ben should strictly only refer to the big bell at the top of the tower. What you might not know is that this bell is not really called Big Ben at all. It’s official name is the Great Bell! Tower Bridge: Is this the world’s most famous bridge? We think it might be! You don’t only get to see Tower Bridge on our tour, you also get to drive over it! One of our favourite things to do is to hop off at the Tower of London, walk back over the bridge and hop on again the other side! Westminster Abbey: More than just a church, Westminster Abbey is where the kings and queens of England are crowned! So, as you can imagine, it’s a pretty impressive place! It’s also where loads of British royals are buried, as well as famous people from British history such as Isaac Newton, Charles Darwin and Laurence Olivier.

It’s a great route for kids because they’ll love the museums and there’s even a special interactive kids’ commentary. Knightsbridge: If you’re in the mood for a spot of posh shopping, there’s nowhere better to head than Knightsbridge, home to the world-famous Harrods! This enormous department store can reputedly get you whatever it is that you want. Maybe, you could even buy your own hop-on hop-off bus!

Queen Elizabeth Gate, Hyde Park: Queen Elizabeth Gate is a memorial to the late Queen Mother. It’s the perfect place to hop off for a picnic in beautiful Hyde Park or if you want to take a stroll along through Green Park to see the front gates of Buckingham Palace.

St Pancras and King’s Cross: St Pancras and Kings Cross are two of London’s most famous train stations, but they’re both worth a visit in their own right.
