This Christmas, London is getting a sprinkle of extra magic thanks to Golden Tours and their brand-new Snowman™ Afternoon Tea Bus Tour. Inspired by Raymond Briggs’ timeless classic, this charming festive experience invites guests to step aboard a beautifully decorated double-decker bus and journey through the city’s sparkling streets, all while enjoying a whimsical afternoon tea inspired by The Snowman™.
As you glide past London’s most iconic sights, from the London Eye and Big Ben to the glittering Oxford Street and Regent Street Christmas lights, you’ll be treated to a menu that captures the joy of the season. Think freshly baked scones with jam and cream, turkey and stuffing sandwiches, mince pies, and an assortment of snowman-themed sweet treats including truffles, cupcakes, and festive drinks. There’s even a souvenir cup to take home as a keepsake of your magical ride. Vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free menus are also available, so everyone can join in the festive fun.
Inside, the bus is transformed into a winter wonderland, decked out in Christmas décor and filled with the nostalgic music from The Snowman™ and other holiday classics. It’s a joyful, one-hour journey that combines the best of London sightseeing with the warmth and wonder of one of Britain’s most beloved Christmas stories.
Whether you’re looking for a unique festive day out with friends, a family adventure to delight little ones, or a Christmas gift that’s guaranteed to impress, The Snowman™ Afternoon Tea Bus Tour is a celebration of everything we love about the season, magic, nostalgia and a little bit of sparkle.
The route even includes a stop at the Peacock Theatre, home to The Snowman™ stage show, making it a perfect pre- or post-show experience. Guests who book the afternoon tea bus are also treated to an exclusive 20% discount on theatre tickets, the ultimate double dose of festive fun.
