The best bus route to see London's Christmas lights has been named
To see the main West End Christmas lights in London (the shining stars on Oxford Street and the ever-popular angels on Regent Street), choose the best bus route for this purpose, number 139 in the direction of Waterloo.
It starts in Golders Green, but for fans of Christmas lights it becomes interesting only when it turns to Oxford Street, reports Londonist .
It is best to take this bus at the Oxford Street stop or head around the corner to stop it at Orchard Street.
Ideally, you'll want a front seat on the upper deck, but these popular seats are usually full. To maximize your chances of optimal viewing, avoid traveling during rush hour in the evening.
If you're looking to see all the lights in one go, it's best to take a walk along South Molton and Bond Street before boarding this bus. An alternative is to hop off at the next stop, cross Oxford Street and walk along South Molton Street and Bond Street.
