February in London is not the obvious climate to take to the top deck of an open top bus, which is probably why the hardy souls are gathered in the enclosed front section as DA3 (LV51YCM) picks its way through puddles on the corner of Strand and Lancaster Place in 2011.

July is a much better month to plan an open top trip and DA11 (LV51YCG) has been fully converted to open top. However it is summer 2012 so the top deck tourists were lucky to find summer sun as the bus passes Marble Arch.

With one of Metrobus' Dennis Tridents converted to open top for Big Bus, 427 (LV51YCN) - now DA12, heading up Grosvenor Place towards Hyde Park Corner, Metroline Plaxton President bodied Volvo B7TL VPL190 (Y190NLK) nears the end of its journey to Victoria. The bus, seen in April 2011 is a recent repaint in the all red livery. Buckingham Palace gardens are behind the high wall on the right.

Trident DA7 (LV51YCO), former 428, is seen on layover on Park Lane in May 2014 in the new livery, with an ex Hong Kong open topper behind still in the old colours.
