Boarding feels like stepping onto a moving terrace: the city unfurls around you as the bus hums away from Trafalgar Square, lights flickering on the Thames while a playlist sets the tempo. Wind pushes up from the river, the skyline leans in, and landmarks — Big Ben, St Paul’s dome, Tower Bridge — parade past at a relaxed pace.
