The Hop-On Hop-Off London Red Route

Leicester Square to Buckingham Palace. The Shard to St Paul's Cathedral. The Red Route covers London's most-loved central landmarks in a single loop - and gives you the freedom to explore each one at your own pace.

Hop on and off as many times as you like. Spend longer at the stops that matter most to you, then jump back on when you're ready to move. Buses run every 15 - 25 minutes throughout the day, so there's no rushing and no replanning.

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

Timetable

First bus: 8.30am

Last bus: 18:05

Bus every 15-30 minutes
