What Can I Expect

Good afternoon everyone and welcome aboard the Paddington Afternoon Tea Bus Tour! A wonderful trip on a vintage double decker bus around London, with Paddington Bear-themed sweet and savoury treats served at your table.

Paddington, of course, was from Darkest Peru. But ever since arriving at Paddington Station and being adopted by the Brown family, his home has been Windsor Gardens in London. This very polite little bear knows the capital well. He also knows how to make a mean Marmalade Sandwich…

So when you're on the Paddington Bear bus, make sure you use the integrated tablet on your table to hear Paddington and housekeeper Mrs Bird narrate your journey around the fabulous landmarks of London, from St Paul's Cathedral to Piccadilly Circus.

And the food! It's utterly delicious and we're sure Paddington and the whole Brown family would love it. The bear paw print chocolate-topped cupcakes are too cute. The scones are as fluffy and delicious as Mrs Bird's and the cakes are quintessentially British.

But we must give a special mention to one particular sandwich on the platter - the Best Marmalade Sandwich Ever. Certainly as good as the ones Knuckles made in prison (remember that from the Paddington 2 film?) and definitely worthy of being popped under any bear's hat!

We are offering adult tickets (12 years or more) and child tickets for 5 to 11 year olds to hop on the Paddington Afternoon Tea Bus for a tour around London with all those lovely teatime treats. As Paddington himself says : ‘This is going to be a very rare sort of bus tour. I do hope you'll enjoy it'.
