A unique bus tour gives you the chance to tuck into a gourmet six-course meal while soaking up the capital’s most famous landmarks, complete with panoramic views, and if you get in there quick you might still be able to see the twinkling Christmas lights. It’s the perfect blend of sightseeing and fine dining, all in one unforgettable journey.
Dine while you ride
This isn’t your bog-standard double-decker bus; this is the Bustronome, and it’s perhaps the most spectacular bus tour in London. Imagine settling into a comfortable seat with a panoramic glass roof above you, ready to watch the city lights glide by as you’re treated to a stunning array of dishes.
The experience is a dedicated two-and-a-half-hour journey across London, giving you plenty of time to relax and savour both the scenery and the food. The route has been carefully planned to pass nearly all the major London landmarks , including Big Ben and St. Paul’s Cathedral, as well as snaking across three major bridges to give you those iconic waterside views. Whether it’s the glittering London Eye or the towering Shard, you get a full opportunity to make the most of the views.
The real star of the show, though, is the food. On this evening tour, you’ll be treated to a fantastic six-course meal. The preparation is just as impressive as the dining room: downstairs, the bus houses a fully operating kitchen where every one of those six courses is freshly prepared and plated before being brought up to your table. You can even opt for a wine pairing with your meal for a truly indulgent night out. It’s a world away from grabbing a takeaway after work; this is proper, elevated dining.
