Due to the Pride in London Parade taking place this weekend, London City Tour services will be significantly affected across Central London.
A large number of roads will be closed and, in some areas, our buses will be unable to operate as usual. Locations such as Piccadilly Circus, Trafalgar Square and Whitehall will be inaccessible for much of the day, requiring diversions across all routes.
π΅ Blue Route
The Blue Route will operate on the former Blue Route alignment:
Victoria β Grosvenor Place β Hyde Park Corner β Knightsbridge β Kensington Road β Palace Gate β Gloucester Road β Cromwell Road β Brompton Road β Knightsbridge β Hyde Park Corner β Grosvenor Place β Lower Grosvenor Place β Buckingham Palace Road
Affected stops: 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40 and 41.
π΄ Red Route
The Red Route will operate via:
Victoria β Grosvenor Gardens β Lower Grosvenor Place β Bressenden Place β Victoria Street β Parliament Square
We will make every effort to continue serving Haymarket / Pall Mall East until approximately 10:00. After this time, closures around Piccadilly Circus and Whitehall will prevent access.
Affected stops: 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26 and 27.
π’ Green Route
The first departures will operate on the normal line of route until the 09:10 departure from Belvedere Road.
From the 09:30 departure onwards, buses will operate only as far as Royal National, returning via:
Southampton Row β Bloomsbury Place β Bloomsbury Square β Great Russell Street β Bloomsbury Street β New Oxford Street β Bloomsbury Way β Southampton Row β Kingsway β Aldwych β Waterloo Bridge β York Road
Affected stops: 24, 25, 26, 27 and 55.
Customers wishing to travel on the Green Route should go to Belvedere Road.
As with all major events in Central London, congestion and delays are expected across the wider network, including areas not directly affected by the parade. Our Operations Team will do everything possible to minimise disruption.
