2 Shows in London to Plan a Day Around

1.London Vintage Bus Tour: Live Comedy Sightseeing Show

★★★★★★★★★★4.3 · 217 reviews · from $48Our pick

Ride an open-top 1960s Routemaster for a 75-minute London sightseeing show led by Lord Larksford and his butler, Cheeksworth. Expect city views, historical anecdotes, comic skits and lively banter in English, with a route that can change for traffic or road closures. The tour starts near Trafalgar Square and is not suitable for wheelchair users.

“We had professional and hilarious guides on our tour today — my face hurt from smiling and laughing by the end of the ~75 min tour! This bus has surround sound audio, so it’s easy to hear the guides. And the two stellar guides that are improv experts a d in character the entire time. The tour is littered with interesting facts and entertaining jokes. Would especially recommend for groups with varying levels of interest in the sights as this tour is so much more than the sights of London — it’s a show!!”

Spend about two hours at Comedy Carnival Covent Garden, an international stand-up showcase held Friday and Saturday nights.

A late bar stays open until 11pm.

“Note: the show starts at 20h30 and not 19h30. I guess the show is rather for local people than international public.”
