    You could instead use the No 11 London bus, only £1 with an Oyster card.

    It starts at Liverpool street station and goes past many of the famous sights. I think it is also a double decker so you can sit up the top and look at everything.

    goes all the way to Fulham Broadway, but probably best to get off at Sloane Square tube.

    i did it at the weekend, by exchanging tesco vouchers.
    its not worth the £72 'family of four' price if you have to pay cash.
    I was more than happy to get it 'free' thanks to tesco though :D


    no special plan really, just sit, listen to the commentry and enjoy the scenery!

    Yellow route was more informative - maybe dont bother with the blue route, unless you want to hop on and off at various museums, like Science or History Museums. we didnt do the red route.

    You should also get a free ride on the Thames River Cruise from Wesminster Bridge. Get the Yellow route to Houses of Parliament, then get the Cruise from there down to Tower of London, and get the Yellow or Red route back to the West End.
    Please take the time to have a look around my Daughter's website www.daisypalmertrust.co.uk

    dont forget to ask what time they finish as some routes finish earlier than others and you can end upstranded other end of your destination..

    How did you use your Tesco vouchers? Do they accept these in person or you have to book online?
