A great deal for those looking to see London from every angle. Utterly practical and convinient, you go from a bus, to the Eye and right below the Eye are the boats. The boat capitain was hillarious on the speakers.

This specific bus line, although there are many, seems to have the most stops and covers nearly every inch of the city. The drivers seem to have magical powers to get the bus through the very busy traffic and narrow streets of London. Easily a half day ride perhaps more if you ride the entire main loop. Multiple days if you use it to get on and off at stops.
