London; one of the most popular UK destinations for Aussies, and a happening starting point for European adventures.

So how can you upsell it to clients with a bit of a twist? We’ve found a new company that will help travellers see a fresh perspective to the cosmopolitan city.

London by night is truly something special, whether you’re off to the theatre, a bustling nightclub, or looking for sightseeing alternatives, it’s got something for everyone.

For tourists looking to extend their sightseeing into the evening, UK tour company, Golden Tours, has a range of night tours for the intrepid traveller.

Bus tours by night

If you love the idea of the classic double-decker bus tour, but have too much to cram into the day – or fancy a fun, new way to see the city – then this is for you. (side note: Golden Tours offers the traditional hop-on, hop-off bus tours during the day too).

Jump aboard a Golden Tours bus at a designated meeting point, before embarking on a 1 hour and 45 minute adventure.

See the city at its dazzling best with a London by Night Tour and soak up the lively evening atmosphere from your prime position on an open top bus.

From the Tower of London to the beautifully lit London Eye, as well as lively Piccadilly Circus and St Paul’s Cathedral, you’ll see it all on this unique tour experience.

This tour is particularly suited to tourists who want to experience the city by night, without the hassle of public transport, expensive taxis, or concerns about safety or navigation. With Golden Tours’ night tour, you get guided, animated commentary, primo photo opportunities, and a convenient and relaxing way to get amongst London’s spectacular nightlife.

It’s not every day – or in this case, night – that you’ll find yourself in a city with more history than you’ve had hot breakfasts!

But with Golden Tours, London is your oyster, and you only need to know the right people to get the best out of the city.

Golden Tours’ Jack the Ripper tour is one such experience, involving a 1.5 hour guided walking tour to the scenes of the crime of the notorious serial killer.

With historic Victorian London narratives, and interactive commentary, you’ll learn about each of the killer’s grisly crimes, the victims, and the suspects. And you’ll get a firsthand look at modern day London town while you’re at it!

Golden Tours offers plenty more experiences across London by night, from ghost tours and cabarets to medieval banquets and the London Eye. Check them out here.
