Hi, all. We'll be in the UK six weeks from now! But getting down to the logistics, can you give some advice:
Which is the best Hop on/Hop off bus tour in London? Do you stick with the brand of the best as you travel the city?
What rail line would you suggest from London to Edinburgh?
And is UK requiring quarantine after arriving?
Many thanks,
Marjie
London to Edinburgh https://www.lner.co.uk/
No quarantine or anything else for that matter
You need a negative COVID test the day before you fly back to the US, but nothing to enter England.
No comment on Hop Off Hop On bus tour. Never taken one.
Liner from Kings Cross to Edinburgh Waverly.
No on quarantine.
No masks, no testing, no reporting, no quarantine, the public have basically been told that it is all over -- now go back to normal.
Coincidentally we have also been told that currently 1 on every 20 people currently has the virus, and that it is ok to go back to work with it, if you feel well enough.
As far as hop on hop off buses, I don't believe that they work well in London, are very expensive and exceedingly slow.
If you want to see London from the top of a bus look at TfL's (Transport for London's) official website for all things transport in London. They even have a sort of best buses in London map which shows many of the places you go round. Granted, no multilingual taped disembodied voice telling you what you just passed, but sit upstairs at the front for a picture window view and follow Rick's book and the map.

And you can hop on and off from one to the other all day to your heart's content for only £4.95 (the daily bus only cap). Try doing that on any HoHo bus.
Thanks, all!
I did book just now the Liner from Kings Cross to Waverley Station.
And no to hoho's!:)
Best wishes,
Marjie
