Itinerary

Taking in the sights and indulging in afternoon tea are two of the most sought-after activities on a trip to London. You can combine both on one very wonderful afternoon thanks to the specially developed Golden Tours afternoon tea bus. It's a distinctive bakery that feels like your home away from home with a dash of elegance.

Other names for the tea-related custom that we now usually refer to as afternoon tea are High Tea or Cream Tea. Since its introduction to Britain in the early 1840s, people have appreciated it. Even while the idea is quite straightforward—sandwiches, cakes, savoury snacks, and an abundance of exquisite teas—when executed well, the event's memories outlive the food. For this reason, we provide an alternative to the typical London Afternoon Tea settings found in hotels: the Afternoon Tea Bus.

So why not take a trip on our vintage afternoon tea bus and enjoy some sweet cakes and savoury sandwiches while viewing London from a whole new angle. Drinking Prosecco, stroll through the centre of the city, passing by well-known locations including Buckingham Palace, the King's London residence, Westminster Abbey, Big Ben, the River Thames, and the terrifying Tower of London. As our staff highlights the most well-liked things London has to offer.

To ensure you don't miss anything, take in the views from the upper deck while you unwind and enjoy this one-of-a-kind experience. While you indulge in decadent delights and soak up this wonderful British tradition, our welcoming staff will take care of you and help you create lifelong memories.

A standard menu, vegan, vegetarian, or gluten-free options are available. You can select from three distinct seating options: premium upper deck seating, lower deck sitting, and upper deck seating. When you choose premium upper deck seating, you'll be seated directly in front of the bus, giving you the greatest views as you travel through Central London.
