Description

Begin your 90-minute circular open-top sightseeing bus experience at TfL Bus Stop X on Northumberland Avenue, outside Cafè Concerto on Northumberland Avenue, beside Trafalgar Square. Look for the Sir Christopher London open-top bus and our friendly team.

Choose between two versions of the tour: the 4:00 PM Family Frights, a playful child-friendly Halloween mystery with humor and no graphic content, or the 7:00 PM Fright Night, a darker and more suspenseful version recommended for ages 12 and over, with no graphic gore. All children must attend with an adult.

Enjoy theatrical storytelling, spooky London folklore, humor, and audience interaction from your live English-speaking guide. The experience is designed as entertaining Halloween theater rather than a heavy history lecture. Themed characters, atmospheric sound cues, and Halloween decorations bring the journey to life while you enjoy panoramic views from the open-top deck.

Pass Trafalgar Square, Whitehall, Parliament Square, Big Ben, Westminster Abbey, the London Eye, the River Thames, Fleet Street, St Paul's Cathedral, Liverpool Street, Tower Hill, the Tower of London, Tower Bridge, and London Bridge.

Take a brief diversion towards the edge of the East End for eerie stories inspired by Victorian London and Jack the Ripper territory.
