You can take afternoon tea on a vintage London bus whilst taking in some of the city's most famous sights.

If you’re looking to get out and see London at Christmas in a way that doesn’t involve walking, you can do a festive afternoon tea on board a vintage Routemaster bus.

Hosted by popular London bakery Brigit’s Bakery in Covent Garden, these popular afternoon tea bus tours let you see London whilst having an afternoon tea on board.

Currently, the classic buses have been decorated with Christmas lights and set up for a Christmas feast with crackers and festive music.

The savouries were a mix of both classic finger sandwiches and pastries, if you prefer to have a variety other than just finger sandwiches.

The sandwiches included cucumber and cream cheese and turkey, and ham and cheese, along with a feta, tomato and red pepper muffin, mini spinach quiche, and salmon and cucumber pretzel.

The sweet treats all had a festive touch including a peppermint and chocolate tarte, Christmas tree chocolate cupcake, spiced orange choux, eggnog sable, and plain baked scones with jam and cream, and are typically what you’d find at the bakery in Covent Garden.

But if you can’t finish everything, they do also hand out takeaway boxes at the end.

During the tour we saw some of London’s most famous sights including The V&A and Marble Arch, as well as The Ritz and Regent Street which have been decorated for Christmas.

You can also choose between a selection of teas, coffees and hot chocolate served in a keep cup, which you get to take home with you after.

This was a fun experience and despite the novelty element the food definitely compared to other afternoon teas I’ve had in London for freshness and taste.

Alongside their regular afternoon tea bus tours, they also offer themed bus tours like Paddington, Peppa Pig and The Grinch, as well as a Christmas Lights Bus Tour.

Prices for the Christmas Afternoon Tea start from £35 for a child and £45 for an adult, with slots available between 12pm and 5:30pm until January 3.
