About
Step aboard The Snowman™ Afternoon Tea Bus and embark on a magical journey through the heart of London between 22 November 2025 and 4 January 2026. This enchanting bus experience combines the wonder of Raymond Briggs’ beloved classic with the indulgence of a traditional afternoon tea, all while you take in the sights of the capital.
Tuck into a specially crafted Afternoon Tea inspired by The Snowman™, featuring a selection of delicious finger sandwiches, sultana scones with jam and cream, festive cupcakes, mince pies, delightful Snowball truffles, and more. Pair your treats with a cosy choice of hot chocolate, tea, or coffee – or upgrade to a deluxe hot chocolate topped with whipped cream and marshmallows!
Begin your tour from either the London Eye or Aldwych and enjoy views of London’s iconic landmarks. See Big Ben, Trafalgar Square, Piccadilly Circus, and more. If you select the evening departure, you’ll also see London’s world-famous Christmas displays, from Oxford Street’s sparkling stars to Regent Street’s stunning angels. Paired perfectly with iconic music from The Snowman™ and classic Christmas carols playing throughout the tour, you’ll be truly immersed in the festivities.
To make your experience even more special, you can pre-purchase a selection of extras, including a glass of Prosecco, mulled wine, a festive Snowball cocktail, and more.
This Afternoon Tea bus experience is paired perfectly with The Snowman™ theatre show in the West End (not included). Bus departure times run before and after the show, with a departure point in Aldwych, right by the theatre.
Adult tickets (£39) and child tickets (£34) must be bought separately.
