Welcome Christmas and bring on the festive cheer with the Grinchmas Afternoon Tea Bus Tour! This voucher is valid for one child aged 5–11 years, for a festive sightseeing adventure around Central London aboard a vintage Routemaster double-decker bus, complete with Grinch-themed entertainment and afternoon tea. Board the Grinch bus at London’s Victoria Coach Station and set off on a journey lasting around one and a half hours. You will travel past some of London’s most famous sights, including the Houses of Parliament, Westminster Abbey, Hyde Park and more. While you’re taking in the sights, expect plenty of Grinchy mischief! Watch out for a prankster onboard who’ll be keeping everyone entertained – or should that be distracted? along the way. Even the afternoon tea has been Grinched, with treats including Max’s Favourite Choux, a ‘Cindy-Lou Who’ Raspberry & Cream Tart and Mount Crumpit Truffle delights. And don’t let the Grinch put you off those green scones! These limited-edition tours run from November until the end of January, with several departures each day. For extra festive magic, choose the 17:30 trip to see the Christmas lights sparkling along Regent Street. This voucher is for one child aged 5–11 years. Adult vouchers are available separately. Hop aboard for a Grinchtastic combination of London sightseeing, themed afternoon tea and mischievous entertainment!
