The Peppa Pig Afternoon Tea Bus Tour
Collaboratively created by Brigit’s Bakery, Hasbro, and Entertainment One, 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 relatively recent addition to our fleet of child-friendly tours is the Paddington Afternoon Tea Bus Tour. Available twice daily, 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.
The Classic Afternoon Tea Bus Tour
While this tour isn't specifically designed for children, all our afternoon tea bus tours (except for the Gin Lovers tour, which is for adults only) are completely family-friendly. The Classic Afternoon Tea Bus tour runs daily all year round with 5 departure times between Victoria Coach Station and Trafalgar Square. 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 combining the savoury flavours of France 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.
