Experience Movie Magic in the Heart of London with Tootbus’ New Film & TV Tour

Grab your favourite co-star and get ready to see London in a whole new light as Tootbus launches Lights, Camera, London! The Ultimate Movie & TV Tour—the capital’s only film and TV-themed open-top sightseeing bus tour complete with its own onboard bar.

Running every Friday and Saturday evening until the end of July, this 90-minute cinematic adventure departs from Charles II Street at 6:30pm. Guests are welcomed aboard with a curated soundtrack designed to set the scene before the tour begins weaving through the capital’s most iconic filming locations. Think Hogwarts, MI6, and 221B Baker Street—as the route includes filming sites from Harry Potter, James Bond, Mission Impossible, Bridget Jones, Sherlock Holmes and many more.

Tootbus is renowned as the world’s first low-emissions sightseeing bus operator and offers popular hop-on hop-off tours across London, Bath, Paris and Brussels. Their latest venture brings an exciting new twist to city sightseeing, combining blockbuster views with Hollywood-worthy storytelling. Expert guides provide fascinating behind-the-scenes insight and insider gossip about the stars, sets and scenes that have made London a global screen icon.

Adding to the glamour, the Bar Bus serves as London’s most original rooftop bar experience. Guests can enjoy fabulous views of the city’s major landmarks—such as the Houses of Parliament, Big Ben, Tower Bridge, the London Eye, and St Paul’s Cathedral—while sipping on a drink or two. Each adult ticket includes two complimentary alcoholic or soft drinks, with fun tunes and a film-themed trivia quiz keeping the party vibe alive.

“London has long been the star of the big and small screen,” says Gavin Brooking, Managing Director of Tootbus UK. “But now we’re seeing ‘set-jetting’—travelling to filming locations—become a bigger trend. According to VisitBritain, seven in ten leisure travellers have visited a film or TV location during a UK trip. We wanted to lead the way in creating a fun, immersive experience that celebrates that movie magic right here in the capital.”

Tickets are priced at £49 for adults (16+) and £30 for children aged 5–15, with kids also receiving two soft drinks. Whether you’re a lifelong cinephile or just after a unique evening out in London, Lights, Camera, London! promises an unforgettable journey through the city’s film-studded streets.

Tickets are available now via Tootbus.com. So get ready to strike a pose, sip a cocktail, and see the capital like never before—from the best seat in the house.
