The Paddington Afternoon Tea Bus Tour is available daily. And for the most entertaining of all London bus tours, our chefs have created a finger-lickin’ Paddington-themed afternoon tea menu featuring the best marmalade sandwich ever! Check further down the page for more details.
Taking in the best views of Central London, our iconic double-decker Routemaster bus will take you past some of Paddington’s favourite London landmarks, and you can be sure you’ll hear about some of his fun adventures and mishaps! This Paddington-approved tour includes Big Ben, The Houses of Parliament, Westminster Abbey, Hyde Park, Nelson’s Column, Downing Street, St. Paul's Cathedral, Borough Market, Green Park, Piccadilly Circus, and much more.
Each table comes with a special built-in screen providing guests with a Paddington-guided animation of the tour of London. Paddington and Mrs Bird will be telling you all about some of the City’s most famous landmarks and share our beloved bear’s view of the world.
From early November to early January, you'll be able to enjoy the spectacular Regent Street Christmas Lights on our 17:30 Paddington tour, turning your afternoon tea bus tour into a dazzling experience.
