Seeing the sights on a normal London bus?

I'd recommend a couple of hours in Camden, we went down to London last year and had an afternoon there.

It just buzzes with colour and vibrancy. Brilliant characters too.

If you're coming in from the West, you can catch the #23 from Paddington, it is a pleasant way to cross the city.

We were in London in the easter holidays. we tried the tour but only half as started at westminster.

THe only down side that I found was not knowing how long we will be travelling on each bus. so we were like 'are we there?'.'HAve we missed it?' Asked a Londoner if we were near our destination(as stated on the guide) and she said we had quite a bit to go and would be easier to jump off and get the tube.
Also I would leave alot of time as can take 3hours.
I found we just did not have enough time to see everythingg well as the kids had a long 'to see' list and ideally I would have prefered to linger at some places eg the museums'
