The Peppa Pig Afternoon Tea Bus Tour
The Peppa Pig Afternoon Tea London Sightseeing Bus Tour is a unique experience for the entire family. For this tour, our expert pastry chefs have curated a special Peppa Pig-themed afternoon tea menu that will enchant children and adults alike. It’s the perfect ‘First Afternoon Tea’ designed with your little people in mind. This is our only tour that is suitable for children aged 2 years and over.
As you ride through Central London, our bus offers stunning views of iconic landmarks such as Big Ben, The Houses of Parliament, Westminster Abbey, Hyde Park, Nelson’s Column, Tower Bridge, St Paul's Cathedral, Borough Market, Green Park, Piccadilly Circus, and more.
At each table, a dedicated built-in tablet enhances the experience with a Peppa Pig guided animation of the London tour. Plus, our onboard entertainer will fill your journey with sing-along songs and family-friendly games. Children will receive a Peppa Pig Afternoon Tea Bus Tour Activity Book to enjoy at home, and each family will leave with a Peppa Pig travel cup as a cherished souvenir.
The Paddington Afternoon Tea Bus London Sightseeing Tour
Another addition to our fleet of child-friendly tours is the Paddington Afternoon Tea Bus Tour. Our Routemaster buses depart from Trafalgar Square. This is a truly bear-tastic opportunity for little cubs and grown-ups alike!
Our chefs have created a finger-lickin’ Paddington-themed afternoon tea menu featuring the best marmalade sandwich ever. Each table comes with a special built-in screen providing guests with a Paddington-guided animation of the tour. And the narrator isn't just anyone! Paddington and Mrs Bird themselves will be telling you all about some of the City’s most famous landmarks and share our beloved bear’s view of the world. The whole family will also take home a beautiful Paddington & Brigit's Bakery branded travel mug as a souvenir of your adventure.
Please note that due to the length of the tour and the fact we have no toilets on board the bus, our Paddington Tours are best suited (and enjoyed) by children of 5 years and over.
PAW Patrol London Bus Tour
No job is too big, no pup is too small! Our PAW Patrol London Bus Tour runs all year round, which makes it one of the best London kids tours for little fans aged 2 and up. Ryder and the pups need help finding Mayor Goodway and Chickaletta, so junior patrollers solve puzzles and challenges on their table’s mission screen, then join in the sing-alongs and games. Along the way you’ll spot Big Ben, the London Eye and Battersea Power Station, all while enjoying a themed afternoon tea. Every guest takes home a PAW Patrol travel cup, and kids get an activity book too.

While this tour isn't specifically designed for children, all our afternoon tea bus tours are completely family-friendly. The Classic Afternoon Tea Bus tour runs daily all year round with regular departure times from Victoria Coach Station. This tour is for children aged five years and over.
While our exclusive vintage Routemaster buses wind their way through the heart of Central London, you and your family can enjoy our delicious afternoon tea. As you probably know by now, we're renowned for our afternoon tea on the move with a selection of scrumptious finger sandwiches (including classics like smoked salmon and cream cheese) and mouthwatering cakes and pastries. All our food is expertly crafted by our executive pastry chefs to enhance your tea experience.
