I rarely write about Central or West London; nearly all of my previous posts about London  have been about my beloved East, where I live. I get the occasional email about things to do in London and I always underground tour of seattle feel a bit lost on what to recommend, underground tour of seattle especially if the person writing has never been to the Big Smoke before. While people want to find out about lesser-known places like Broadway underground tour of seattle Market  and the Early Morning Rave , let s face it: London has some of the greatest sightseeing spots in the world, from Buckingham Palace to Big Ben to Trafalgar Square.
Last month, when the Expedia Pioneer for the UK, Kelly , was just beginning her travels, she began in London. You may or may not know that I also work on that project as the Community Manager. I decided to join her, along with my colleagues Jose and Fabienne, for BB Bakery s Afternoon underground tour of seattle Tea Bus Tour . Simply put, it is a double-decker bus tour of Central London where you get to have a delicious afternoon tea.
I was a bit skeptical at first; how good can it be if it is served on a moving bus? And won t I get hot tea splashed all over me? This would also be the first time I was having a proper afternoon tea in London, and at £45 per person, I wanted to get my money s worth. Afternoon tea usually costs that much in well-known establishments, however, and so I thought that partaking in one while sitting on a bus that drove past some of London s best sightseeing spots was a very cool idea. Leaving underground tour of seattle at 12:30 and 3pm every day, I think it is a pretty fun thing to do whether as a London native or a tourist to the city.
I also sometimes worry about tours sometimes the tour guides talk too much, and there s little chance underground tour of seattle to just enjoy the sights. On this occasion, I actually thought the guides didn t talk  enough ; they didn t point out any of the sights, or talk about London at all. They simply helped with the service, replenishing tea and water whenever needed. It s up to you to look out the windows and discover the city. Because we were all familiar with London (despite only Kelly being from England, with the rest of us Canadian, French, underground tour of seattle and Spanish), this was actually quite nice; we were able to chat away, enjoy the food, and point out sights when we wanted to. If you are brand new to London, I still think there is some benefit here, as you can enjoy a cuppa while watching the city go by. Just be sure to follow underground tour of seattle the map!
For my first afternoon tea in London, I have to say: it was absolutely delicious. The food was amazing, from the little sandwiches to the pastries and cakes. BB Bakery is known for having incredible sweets, and they certainly didn t disappoint on the tour. As for my fear of spilling hot drinks, they served everything in ceramic cups with rubber lids, so there was no third-degree burns for souvenirs, thankfully.
Overall, it is definitely a steep price if you are looking at a budget tour of London. However, if you re willing to splash out a bit, I would definitely recommend the BB Bakery Bus Tour. The food alone is worth it, but bring a friend and enjoy watching one of the biggest and most fascinating cities from a double-decker bus.
Oh my word, it looks absolutely delicious!! I ve been to BB to sit in and have tea and cake a few times but never had the afternoon tea or done the bus tour and it s been on my list for a while now just waiting for the next special occasion that I can use as an excuse to go on it!
All I've ever wanted to do is travel. After eight nomadic years and nearly 90 countries, I'm currently living in London and fulfilling my other dream of becoming a writer. If I'm not travelling, I'm writing about it, either for my blog, my job, or my Master's degree. I firmly believe there is adventure everywhere, so long as you keep your eyes (and your mind, and your heart) open. Join me as I continue to look for these adventures. Hopefully you'll find your own, too.
