LONDON BY BUS
'Why didn't someone think of this idea before? For the price of a travelcard, you can tour London at your own pace and follow your own theme. It's a brilliant way to see London on a budget.' Jane Knight, Travel Editor, The Times
London By Bus is the perfect companion for anyone who wants to discover the UK capital on their own terms. A world away from expensive open-top bus tours, each of its quirky 25 themed journeys makes use of London's existing bus routes to provide readers with an opportunity to explore the real, hidden city.
Featuring an eclectic mix of routes, from The Beatles' haunts to sports stadia, the capital's best markets, and the landmarks that inspired some of the world's greatest books, films and songs, the book also incorporates QR-code technology – meaning readers can simply download tour details to their phones before setting out.
