  • Exploring London’s Most Famous Bus Routes: A Scenic Journey Through the Heart of the City
    Join me on a stunning adventure across some of London’s most iconic landmarks, starting with a ride on bus 453 from Marylebone Station to Bricklayer’s Arms / New Kent Road. This route offers incredible views of central London as we pass through key areas such as Baker Street Station, home to Sherlock Holmes, and the bustling Oxford Circus, where you’ll see the famous BBC Broadcasting House and the lively shopping street of Regent Street.
    We’ll travel through the heart of the West End, taking in Piccadilly Circus, and rolling past the grand buildings of Trafalgar Square, Horse Guards Parade, and Number 10 Downing Street. The ride continues through Parliament Square, offering a close-up view of Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament, before crossing the iconic Westminster Bridge with spectacular views of the London Eye and the River Thames.
    After a short walk to Bricklayer’s Arms / Tower Bridge Road, we hop on bus 42 for a scenic ride to Liverpool Street Station. This leg of the journey takes us past the famous Tower Bridge, through Aldgate Station, and into the heart of the City of London-one of the world’s major financial districts.
    From Elephant and Castle to Tower Bridge Road, this trip covers a range of London’s most recognizable sights. Whether you’re a Londoner or just visiting, this journey provides a perfect way to explore the city’s historic and modern landmarks from the comfort of its iconic red buses.

    Great ride but seeing the number 73 makes me think that you have not done a video on that route, would that be possible in the near future?

    18.42 Regent Street reminds me of the best date in my young life. 1956 in a foursome with a college friend and two lovely girls we’d picked up in Kensington Gardens. In an open MG we frolicked down Regent Street and had a fun exchange with a bus driver.
    The worst date was at a jazz festival in Chislehurst Caves with a crotchety girl. We were stuck with each other for hours. No escape until we parted for different trains at Baker Street station.

      35.30. The London tourists come to see complete with gloomy rain clouds. They expect it - they love it - so I’ve been told.

      46.30. I wonder what it’s like to live in these buildings. Do you have to wait ages for a lift? And all those neighbours! Are the flats sound proof?

      LBR A really good two bus compilation. I liked the link walk at Bricklayer’s Arms. Thank you very much.

      @adrianrose7703 Thanks so much for your stories and kind words, Adrian! 😊
      @18:42: What a memory! Regent Street in an open MG in 1956 sounds like an incredible time. That playful exchange with a bus driver must have been quite the moment! And I had to laugh about the Chislehurst Caves date-sounds like quite the opposite experience. It’s funny how some dates really stick in our minds, for better or worse! 😄
      @35:30: Haha, yes! London’s gloomy rain clouds are practically part of the tourist package! 🌧️ It’s amazing how much visitors love the “authentic” London weather. Glad I could deliver the full experience on this ride!
      @46:30: I’ve always wondered about that too! Living in those tall buildings must be interesting, though I imagine waiting for lifts and all the noise could get tiring. Hopefully, they’ve got some decent soundproofing! 😅
      Really happy to hear you enjoyed the two-bus compilation and the link walk at Bricklayer’s Arms! Thanks again for watching and for always sharing your thoughts-it’s always a pleasure! 👍

    Which camera did you use ? And also Wondering how you got crystal clear video thru bus window. Any special lens attachment? The camera is fixed focus ?

    • @LondonBusRider

      @dpat7566 Thanks for watching and for your question! 😊 I used a GoPro Hero 12 for this video. The GoPro is great for capturing crystal clear footage, even through bus windows! No special lens attachment was needed-it’s all about the camera’s wide dynamic range and excellent stabilization. Plus, the fixed focus on the GoPro helps keep everything sharp, even when you’re moving. I’m glad the video quality stood out to you! 👍

    Are you speaking to children?

      @barbaralcharles Thanks for your comment! 😊 Just to clarify, that wasn’t me speaking in the video. I focus on filming the routes, but sometimes there may be background sounds or conversations happening around the bus. I hope you still enjoyed the ride!
