Has anyone ever taken those "hop on, hop off" tour buses (The Original Tour or The Big Bus) around London? Which one is better?

You used to get a free bag of chips with The Original Bus Tour.

Although I've always maintained that getting a day travelcard and using public transport is cheaper, faster & much more flexible than the official tour buses, they're all pretty much the same and those who can afford to use them seem to enjoy them.

I think the key is getting a good tour guide, in which case you just have to be lucky. :)

There's a thread made by Audrey here somewhere asking about similar things when she came at the end of last year. I'll see if I can find it. ;)

I did it many years ago, but on a private booking with a large party after a business conference. Food was a bit naff, but it was OK, and cheap beer/wine was included. Quite good entertainment. Can't say what it's like now.

London Euston to Liverpool Lime Street. About 3 hours I would guess.
