Pros: Picturesque, clean, versatile--not just basic transportation
Cons: Upper decks expose the unwary and the unwise to the elements
During our most recent trip to the UK, Himself and I took advantage of a coupon obtained through one of our credit cards to gallivant around London courtesy of London Pride, one of several tour bus operations servicing the city. We purchased our...

Pros: Good way for a first-time visitor to get oriented and take in many sights.
Cons: Rather inane commentary by the guide.
An open air bus tour is a great way to get to know a city that you haven't visited before. Taking in the major sights helps you get oriented and decide what you want to do with the rest of your stay. It also allows you to cover a lot of ground without...

Pros: not nearly as expensive as a similar cab ride
Cons: doomed to ride forever MUAhAhahA!
Review Topic: Practical Information
The London Underground system is great and usually faster than the buses (though they do seem to be having more problems lately), but only runs until about 11:30 or 12:30pm. So, if you want...

Pros: Inexpensive, Watch as you go
Cons: Late night service is slow, smelly exhaust fumes
Review Topic: Sights & Attractions
London buses like the underground make London the easiest city to traverse with public transportation I have been blessed to visit. No they aren't the cleanest or most pleasantly greeted...

Pros: A brilliant cross-section of the population
Cons: Haven't been cleaned since 1972
Review Topic: Sights & Attractions
London buses are big red existential heroes. You never know when they'll come - they obey their own laws of time and space.
It's dark. You're waiting at a smashed-up bus stop,...

Pros: Makes you feel good and may make others feel good
Cons: You will astonish your fellow passengers
Review Topic: Practical Information
Seems we all have different experiences of the London buses, some love 'em, some hate 'em. Occurs to me that this may have something to do with our own attitudes and behaviour!
When...

Pros: service is amazing
Cons: no washrooms available
I know and realize that the sound of riding a bus to tour London, does not seem like an ideal method of transportation. You must however be there to understand that it truly is the way to go. London is enormous in size and the population is...

Pros: Cheap, extensive, fun
Cons: Try not to travel on buses with school children....
Bus travel is the best way to see London. Cheap too! The public transportation system is extensive. It is in need of modernization in some respects but always works for me when I am in the city. Forget about driving in London. It is a nightmare! Average...

Pros: gets you where you want to go...cheap
Cons: smelly, crowded
I have to admit that London has a great public transportation system. Buses and trains everywhere and anywhere you want to go. If you want to get anywhere in LA, you had better own a car. But in London, public transportation is the way to go! Just...

Pros: can really see all of the city
Cons: who's sitting next to you?
I was in London in 1998 and only had two days to see everything. Where to begin? My friend Judy and I bought tickets at our hotel for 12 pounds to ride the double decker bus routes. We had 24 hours to use the ticket as many times as we wanted....

Pros: A beautiful country, a beautiful city, ideal in almost every way
Cons: Everything was so expensive
For Christmas and New Years, I decided to go to London with my brother and my father. Knowing how unsafe it is for foriegners unused to the type of driving in London, we decided to take public transportation everywhere. Needless to say, it was a breeze!...

Pros: getting around London cheaply
Cons: can get lost in London fast
I traveled to London in all four of the seasons. The buses in London are great. They are on time most of the time. They go just about every where. With the underground train system you can travel the central and greater London area. What I'd do...

Pros: Anything you can think of
Cons: Nothing that I can think of
I think that London is the coolest place to be. I was there in February. I was in Germany at the time and this was a school trip for the band class. To get to London was about a 12 hour bus trip. I also had to take the fairy boat some of the way....
