Before you begin your sightseeing tour, you could walk down Elizabeth Street where you can choose from a selection of delis, bistros, restaurants and pubs. Then why not head over to Buckingham Palace and the Mall road. Buckingham Palace was originally built as a townhouse for the Duke of Buckingham in 1703, but it was later purchased by King George III in 1761 and converted into a palace. It has been the official residence of the British monarch since 1837. Buckingham Palace is surrounded by beautiful gardens and is located in the heart of London, near many other famous landmarks you might want to visit during your trip.

There is so much more to London than the sights that you see on the postcards. We recommend walking along the River Thames. You will be overwhelmed with what you can find - from Tower Bridge to the Canary Wharf, each are of the Thames has its own character. Walk to St Katharine Docks, less than half a mile from Tower bridge, and see how the other half live with magnificent boats and luxurious riverside houses!

Londinium was founded by the Romans and now stands as London – a leading global city. London is buried in a rich history that can be seen throughout the city with its memorials, archaic buildings, and an array of museums. The museums that London has to offer is impressive to say the least, with something for everyone. After travelling to London on your FlixBus coach, it only seems fitting to visit the London Transport Museum where you can see some of the original red double decker buses. Displaying over 450,000 items and explaining London’s technological history, this museum has been popular amongst tourists, travellers and locals alike for nearly a century. The British Museum is one of the oldest museums in the world with frequent exhibitions and an elegant display of Britain’s rich history, this museum is a must-visit when your coach arrives in London.

Big Ben is the largest four-faced chiming clock in the world, and it is known for its accuracy and reliability. It has been keeping time in London since 1859, and it is an important part of the city's history and heritage. Big Ben is named after Sir Benjamin Hall, the chief commissioner of works when the bell was installed. The bell itself weighs 13.7 tons and is struck by a hammer that weighs 100 kg. It can be heard from a distance of up to 8 km.
