The Snowman afternoon tea bus tour in London

Combine sightseeing and a traditional afternoon tea on a themed bus tour inspired by Raymond Briggs' beloved classic, The Snowman. You can choose from Lower Deck, Upper Deck or Premium Upper Deck seating, with Premium Upper Deck seats located at the front of the bus for the best views.

Departing from either the London Eye or Aldwych, the route showcases some of London's most recognisable landmarks, such as Big Ben, Trafalgar Square and Piccadilly Circus. If you opt for an evening departure, you'll also see some of London's festive light displays, including the decorations on Oxford Street and Regent Street's famous angels. Along the way, you'll listen to music from The Snowman alongside a selection of Christmas favourites, adding to the seasonal atmosphere.

As you travel through the city, you'll enjoy a Snowman-inspired afternoon tea featuring finger sandwiches, sultana scones served with jam and cream, festive cupcakes, mince pies, snowball truffles and other sweet treats. Tea, coffee and hot chocolate are included, and you can upgrade to a deluxe hot chocolate topped with whipped cream and marshmallows on board.

With departures from nearby Aldwych before and after selected performances, it's an easy way to combine a bus tour with a visit to The Snowman theatre show in London's West End.
