About Sparkling Christmas Lights Open Top Bus Tour

Brigit's Bakery's Sparkling Christmas Lights tour takes you through Central London on the open top deck of a classic Routemaster bus. Over about an hour you pass beneath the Regent Street angels, along Bond Street's light installations and past the Trafalgar Square Christmas tree, with the festive windows at Liberty and Hamleys on the way and landmarks such as Big Ben, Westminster Abbey, Piccadilly Circus and The Ritz in between.

A live entertainer leads Christmas games and sing-alongs, and every adult gets a glass of Silverhand Bubbly, an English sparkling wine from Kent. Tours depart from 8 Northumberland Avenue near Trafalgar Square at 4pm, 6pm, 8pm and 10pm from 26 November 2026 to 5 January 2027. Arrive 15 minutes early and bring a warm coat. Children under 5 are not permitted.

Hotels around Trafalgar Square, Charing Cross and the Strand are a short walk from the departure point.
