Route Changes
When special events/road closures divert the usual Classic Sightseeing Tour away from the Westminster route, the City Tour will usually apply.
9th May. State Opening of Parliament: Many of the roads we normally use will be closed. However, when roads close we are pleased to offer our City Tour of London featuring some of the Capital's most iconic landmarks such as St Paul's Cathedral, Tower Bridge and the Houses of Parliament; the river trip is unaffected.
10th May. Police Federation March & Rally. Some of the roads we normally use will be closed from early morning to late afternoon. However, when roads close, we are pleased to offer our City Tour of London featuring some of the Capital's most iconic landmarks such as St Paul's Cathedral, Tower Bridge and the Houses of Parliament; the river trip is unaffected. We will operate our City Tour when roads close and run Classic Sightseeing tours once roads re-open subject to road conditions. We expect roads to remain closed until approximately 17.00 but these timings can change on the day.
27th May. Bupa 10,000: Some roads in Westminster and the City will be temporarily closed for this annual road race. However, during this time, we are pleased to offer a revised City Tour of London featuring some of the capital’s most iconic sights including Houses of Parliament, St Paul’s Cathedral (viewed from Waterloo Bridge), Tower Bridge, HMS Belfast, MI5, MI6, Tate Britain, Fleet Street & Imperial War Museum. Please note the river trip is unaffected. Race organisers believe roads will re-open at approximately 13.30 and we will resume our Classic Sightseeing Tours as soon as road conditions permit. River trip unaffected.
