Facilities

  • Toilets: There are no toilets available on board the vintage Routemaster bus, so visitors must use facilities before boarding.
  • Buggy Parking: Space for pushchairs and large prams is restricted at departure points, so folding lightweight buggies are advised.
  • Food and Drink: Unlimited hot chocolates, teas, coffees, and juices are served alongside the afternoon tea spread.
  • Accessibility: Due to the historic nature of the 1960s double-decker bus, step-free access and wheelchair boarding are not supported on standard tours.

Pro-Tips for visiting parents

  • Use Facilities Before You Board: Because the bus has no onboard restrooms and makes no scheduled stops during the 90-minute route, ensure children use the bathroom prior to departure.
  • Book Upper Deck VIP Seats for Better Views: Selecting upper deck seating provides a much clearer vantage point for younger children trying to spot London landmarks through the windows.
  • Confirm Dietary Needs Early: Any severe allergies or vegan/gluten-free requirements must be specified at the time of booking to ensure the kitchen prepares the correct boxes.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Is the Peppa Pig Afternoon Tea Bus Tour suitable for toddlers and young children? The tour is specifically tailored for children aged 2 and older, featuring engaging tablet animations, sing-along songs, and character-themed snacks that keep toddlers thoroughly entertained. Parents should note that children must remain seated throughout the 90-minute journey as the classic bus does not feature seatbelts.
  • How long does the bus tour last? The entire sightseeing and afternoon tea experience lasts approximately 90 minutes from departure to return. This duration strikes an ideal balance for young families, keeping kids focused and happy without dragging on too long.
  • Where does the bus tour depart from and where is the best place to park? Tours depart from designated central locations such as Victoria Coach Station or Temple Embankment (Bus Stop N), which are easily accessible via underground rail. Because there is no dedicated on-site parking and central London driving incurs heavy congestion charges, traveling by tube or train is strongly advised.
  • Are toilets available on board the vintage bus? There are no restrooms installed on board the vintage Routemaster bus, and the vehicle cannot make unscheduled stops during the trip. Families are strictly advised to use public restrooms at the departure station before boarding the bus.
