More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The city exhales as daylight slips away and the Thames becomes a strip of moving reflections; from an elevated seat on a double-decker bus you cut through that glow. The TopView London Night Tour sets off from York Road near the South Bank, threading past the London Eye, Big Ben, the Houses of Parliament, Tower Bridge and The Shard — each landmark taking on a different character when lit against the night sky.

History
The Thames shaped London’s growth: many bridges and embankments date to Victorian-era city improvements that redefined the riverfront and nighttime circulation.
