Does anybody know of any good but reasonably priced open top bus tours round london? Thanks
There's a unique service run by the Big Bus Company, where you can get on and off along the route for photos, browsing and even for lunch or snacks. Check out my London pages - things to do.

Most of the attractions take at least a couple of hours to visit, so there is a limit to the amount of hopping on an hopping off you can do in a day. If you can live without the open top element, it is perfectly possible to organise your own tour using a bus pass and regular bus services.
