If you’re looking for a festive treat in London that combines sightseeing, nostalgia and indulgence, The Snowman Afternoon Tea Bus Tour by Golden Tours is pure winter magic. Here are five reasons it’s worth adding to your Christmas to-do list this year.
1. A Festive Spin on a British Classic
Afternoon tea is a beloved British tradition, but this version adds a Christmas twist — complete with snowman-themed cakes, snowball truffles and freshly baked scones. All served on a decked-out double-decker bus surrounded by twinkling lights and festive music.
2. See London’s Landmarks as You Sip
From the comfort of your seat, you’ll glide past famous sights like Big Ben, the Houses of Parliament and Trafalgar Square — all beautifully lit for the season. It’s a sightseeing tour with tea and cake on the side!
3. Music and Magic from The Snowman
Inspired by Raymond Briggs’ heart-warming classic, the bus plays music from The Snowman alongside Christmas favourites. It’s the perfect way to relive that childhood wonder while soaking in the city’s sparkle.
4. A Cosy Treat for Grown-Ups and Kids
With delicious sandwiches, sweet treats and hot chocolate (or a festive cocktail upgrade), there’s something for everyone. Children over five are welcome, making it an ideal family experience or a cosy outing with friends.
5. It’s a Limited-Time Christmas Experience
Running only from 22 November 2025 to 4 January 2026, this festive bus tour is a seasonal special — so book early before it melts away! 👉 Book The Snowman Afternoon Tea Bus Tour
