The Hop-On Hop-Off London Blue Route

Three world-class museums. One seamless loop.

Victoria to South Kensington. Knightsbridge to the Houses of Parliament. The Blue Route is London's museum route - putting you steps from the Victoria & Albert Museum, the Natural History Museum and the Science Museum, with the freedom to spend as long as you like inside each one.

Hop on and off as many times as you like. Linger at the museums that matter most, then jump back on when you're ready. Buses run every 20 to 30 minutes throughout the day, so there's no rushing and no replanning.

Along the way, the route takes in Buckingham Palace, Harrods, Kensington Palace and the Houses of Parliament - culture and grandeur, side by side.

We recommend checking the London Blue Route bus map and timetable before you set off, particularly during weekends and peak periods.
