Launching on St George's Day – Monday 23 April – megasightseeing.com will pick up and drop off at the former London Duck Tours stop in Belvedere Road, close to the London Eye.

The open-top bus tours will cross the Thames four times, at Waterloo Bridge, Westminster Bridge, London Bridge and Tower Bridge.
