Sightseeing in London by Night

London is a spectacular city to visit at night

From Big Ben and Buckingham Palace to the London Eye and St. Paul's Cathedral, many of London's famous landmarks are illuminated at night and this makes for a spectacular evening sightseeing tour.

Bus

A popular way to see London at night is by double-deck London bus. Several operators run night sightseeing tours around London's historic city center and, in summer months, you can travel on an open-top double-deck bus for an excellent view of the city's landmarks.

Cruise

An evening river cruise on the Thames, which flows through the center of London, is a relaxing way to see the city in comfort and enjoy a meal at the same time. Most Thames cruises take about three hours and pass many famous sights, including the Houses of Parliament, London Eye and Tower Bridge.

Walk

Walking tours have become an increasingly popular way to see London and many run at night. Suitably spooky themes include the London Ghost Tour, Haunted London and the Jack The Ripper Walking Tour.
