Enjoy a 360° flight on the Thames Cable Car in daylight and
then head through the ever fascinating London Docklands
as dusk falls to soak up the glitz and glamour of Christmas
London in the company of a top-notch Blue Badge Guide.
London is a dandy at night - few cities can rival our vibrant
history and exhilarating anecdotes and, my goodness, with
the exciting year we have had there are more great stories
to enjoy than ever!
On board the Thames Cable Car you’ll glide silently across
the River Thames enjoying far reaching daylight views from
the glass gondolas and then back on the coach we head into
the centre of the mighty city. Floodlit, London is stunning –
a magical display of colour. A visit to London at Christmas
time is guaranteed to put a smile on even the most grown up
of faces.
Begin your day out in the way that best suits your group.
Come and shop for a couple of hours at Westfield Stratford
City and meet our tour guide there at 2.00pm. Spend a
couple of hours in historic Greenwich and meet the tour
guide there at 2.00pm. Or arrive at The O
2
at 1.00pm for
lunch before meeting our tour guide there at 2.00pm.
Back to the coach to head into the city via the London
Docklands as dusk falls. On our special coach tour of London
by night we’ll show you all the major sights in the City and
the West End, going off the beaten track to see buildings that
add to the beauty of Christmas London. It’s no longer all
about Oxford & Regent Street - floodlit and expertly
illuminated the buildings and bridges of London make it
possibly the most beautiful night time capital in the world.
We will make sure you get great views of the new Shard
from many angles - the mighty glass pyramid is the tallest
building in the European Union but we will drive right past
the base of the building to show you how its feet are planted
in a narrow Bermondsey Street. There’s so much to show
you, especially after such an exciting year.
The Cable Car & The Christmas Lights
We will stop on London’s South Bank where you can
have a comfort stop and buy hot and cold drinks and
even take a peek at a Cologne Christmas Market stall
or two before heading home at 6.00pm.
Available daily from 15 November to 6 January.
