The Open Top Bus Black Route - London's Morning Shuttle
Holland Park Avenue to Oxford Street. Notting Hill to Marble Arch. The open top bus Black Route is a direct morning service designed for hotel guests who want a quick and seamless connection into the city.
This is not a full sightseeing loop - it is something more purposeful. A dedicated route that cuts through west London each morning, passing landmarks like Hyde Park and Paddington before dropping you at Park Lane, where you can connect to the Red, Pink or Blue routes and explore the rest of the city at your own pace.
Buses run every 20 minutes from 8.30am to 9.50am. We recommend checking the Black Route timetable before you set off to plan your onward connections.
