Additional Information & Description

London’s Christmas lights unfold from two perspectives on this river-and-road tour: the Thames and an open-top bus. Roundtrip travel with Uber Boat by Thames Clippers pairs with the City Sightseeing London Christmas Lights Tour, bringing illuminated riverside landmarks and streets dressed for the festive season into one outing.

Landmarks illuminated along the Thames

The river journey passes Big Ben, the London Eye, Tower Bridge and the Tower of London. See these landmarks illuminated after sunset as you travel along the Thames. This part of the tour puts the waterfront in focus, with views of celebrated sights from the boat rather than from the streets around them.

Christmas decorations from the top deck

The open-top bus travels through Regent Street, Trafalgar Square and Piccadilly Circus, taking you through areas lit with Christmas decorations. Head to the top deck for views of the festive displays and chances to photograph the sights along the route. The bus brings the seasonal street decorations into focus, complementing the landmark views seen from the river.

English audio commentary on the bus

An English-language audio guide is included on the bus. Listen to commentary describing the sights as you pass them, adding context to what you see along the route. The guide accompanies the bus portion of the outing.

Arrival and ticket details

Allow 90 minutes for the activity and arrive at 29 Haymarket 15 minutes before the start. Tickets are delivered instantly and can be presented on a smartphone. Wheelchair access is available.

What to arrange separately

Food, drinks and hotel transfers are not included. Admission to attractions is also excluded: the tour takes you past the sights, rather than inside them.
