From the guide

This is the very first Paddington Afternoon Tea Bus Tour in London. What a bear-tastic opportunity for little cubs and grown-ups alike!

For the most entertaining of all London bus tours, our chefs have created a finger-lickin’ Paddington-themed afternoon tea menu featuring the best marmalade sandwich ever!

Each table has a unique built-in screen providing guests with a Paddington-guided animation of the tour of London. Paddington and Mrs Bird will tell you about some of the City’s most famous landmarks and share our beloved bear’s view of the world.

We have a range of menus to cater to all requirements and preferences and offer traditional, vegan, vegetarian, halal, and gluten-free options for all our guests.
