Bus route 11 goes from early to late, and you can more or less
effortlessly get on and off, with buses a few minutes apart, at Bank, St
Paul's Cathedral, St Bride's, Fleet St, Dr. Johnson's House, the Inns of
Court, Somerset
House and the Courtald Gallery, Covent Garden (a block away), the
Embankment and Thames bridges (a block away), Trafalgar Sq, National
Gallery and National Portrait Gallery (a block away), the Banqueting
House, Horseguards, Downing St, Westminster Bridge and Big Ben
(a block away) Parliament, Westminster Abbey, Westminster Cathedral,
Victoria Station, Sloane Sq, and Chelsea/the King's Road. With a
guidebook, you'll see the best of London for a few pence.
(It surprises me that no one has made a tourist cassette or cd to
accompany the 11 route. Listen as you ride - or as you sit in traffic on
Victoria St.)
BTW, I hope the 11 is one of the routes that is still going to keep the
Routemasters as they phase them out of the other routes they run. ANy
info?)
