Best Bus Routes
Found this blog and thought I would share it. Nothing is more fun for me than riding the local buses.

The blog has missed the best route of all - the Number 11.
This bus starts at Liverpool Street and goes past:
- The Bank of England
- The Royal Exchange
- Mansion House
- St Paul's Cathedral
- The Temple
- The Royal Courts of Justice
- The theatreland of Covent Garden, Aldwych and The Strand
- Trafalgar Square
- Whitehall
- Downing Street
- The Houses of Parliament and the Palace of Westminster
- Westminster Cathedral
- Westminster Abbey
- Victoria
- Sloane Square and the Kings Road shopping district.
All for £1.40 it's the best bargain in tourist London, especially if you get seats at the front on the top deck.

If you like riding buses, you should team up with mrs poppleton and her seminal trip on the Yorkshire Coastliner.
I'd say it's just about the best trip report on Flyertalk:

I have been suggesting the 11 as the alternative to the HOHOs for years. It goes on from Sloane Square through Chelsea to Fulham Broadway Station 'where the world starts' according to the shopping centre above, although they seem to have dropped that slogan. [World's End is in Chelsea of course.]

For a more thorough account of travelling on bus routes in London, The Ladies who Bus are blogging about all of them, in order.
