Have a unique afternoon tea experience on our luxurious double decker bus – which, as its name indicates, will allow you to enjoy all the wonderful views London has on offer! This unique 90-minute ride will take you through the heart of London as you enjoy a delicious spot of afternoon tea. Witness the hustle and bustle of the city and take in sights of iconic London landmarks such as Buckingham Palace, the Coca-Cola London Eye and Westminster Abbey and many more. Our varied selection of homemade finger sandwiches range from hummus and falafel to salmon and cream cheese and more. And to satisfy your sweet tooth, you’ll be sure to love our choice of assortment of mini afternoon tea pastries and desserts and quintessentially British scones served with clotted cream and jam. As well as great sightings and delicious bites, you’ll feel spoilt by our welcoming staff.
See the vibrant Piccadilly Circus in London's West End from the Bella Vista afternoon tea bus. This popular junction connects Regent Street, Shaftesbury Avenue, Haymarket, Coventry Street and Glasshouse Street and is now considered a busy meeting place and an important tourist attraction in London
Pass by Charing Cross and see the famous Trafalgar Square with its beautiful fountain and statues. The name of the square comes after the Battle of Trafalgar that took place on 21 October 1805.
Located on the South Bank of the River Thames, the Coca- Cola London Eye is one of the most popular attractions in the United Kingdom. Opened to the public in 2000, the structure offers breath-taking views of the city centre.
An essential addition to any visit to London and set in the heart of the city, Westminster Abbey is legendary and iconic. Boasting a rich history that spans over one thousand years, the site was originally occupied by Benedictine monks in the middle of the tenth century. The current gothic masterpiece has stood there for about 700 years.
Buckingham Palace, the grand and iconic London residence of Her Majesty the Queen is an absolute must-see on any visit to London. A fully working palace, housing not only The Queen, but serving as the administrative headquarters of the Royal Household.

A lovely experience on the pink bus. Sandwiches and cakes were nice, but there could have been another half round of sandwiches per person to make it perfect. It was lovely to be given additional glasses of Prosecco, along with your choice of hot drinks and also a bottle of water. Additionally, we were gifted a lovely little fan which helped with the heat as it was a beautiful day. The serving staff were lovely and were very helpful. Overall, a lovely afternoon spent in London.
Thank you for your lovely review! We are delighted to hear you enjoyed your Afternoon Tea Bus experience and appreciated the food, drinks, and thoughtful touches from our team.

The AC was broken, food was melting, drinking water was warm, people ready to pass out - we got off. Please refund money
Staff was lovely and the tea and scones were nice. The commentary tape wasn't working, so we went through London with no explanation of what we were seeing which was quite disappointing.
Thank you for your feedback. We’re pleased to hear you enjoyed the staff, tea, and scones. We’re very sorry about the commentary not working and understand how disappointing that must have been. Please be assured we’ll be following this up to help ensure a better experience in the future.

It was a lovely afternoon, the food was fresh and tasty. The service impeccable, couldn’t fault it. The driver, however was not the best, constantly using his horn on vehicles in front of him who couldn’t go anywhere, even moving when people on a crossing, totally unnecessary.
