    Description

    Step into the spirit of Christmas with The Snowman™ Afternoon Tea Bus Tour, a magical experience that brings together two beloved British traditions — the timeless story of The Snowman™ and the classic afternoon tea.

    Hop aboard a beautifully decorated double-decker bus and enjoy a festive sightseeing tour through the heart of London. Take in famous landmarks such as Big Ben, the London Eye, Westminster Abbey, Trafalgar Square, and Piccadilly Circus, all illuminated with sparkling Christmas lights, as the music from The Snowman™ and classic carols fill the air.

    Delight in a traditional afternoon tea featuring sandwiches, wraps, mince pies, sultana scones with jam and clotted cream, cupcakes, and snowball truffles. Sip on your choice of tea, coffee, or hot chocolate — or make your day extra special by upgrading to a deluxe hot chocolate with whipped cream and marshmallows, or by adding Prosecco, mulled wine, or a Snowball cocktail.
    👉 Please note: alcoholic and premium drink options must be purchased in advance at the time of booking.

    Choose from standard, vegetarian, vegan, or gluten-free menus, and select your preferred seating: lower deck, upper deck, or premium front-row seats offering the best views of London.

    Whether you’re attending The Snowman™ at the Peacock Theatre or simply celebrating the festive season, this unique afternoon tea tour is sure to fill your day with joy, warmth, and wonder.
