Thank you for your request received by Transport for London (TfL) on 6^th June 2019 asking for information about any trading agreement between TfL and Big Bus Tours London.

Your request has been considered in accordance with the requirements of the Freedom of Information Act and our information access policy.

You asked:

“I would like information on the trading agreement and all rules and regulation between TFL and Big Bus Tours London where they trade at along Piccadilly outside of St James Park/Green Park Station and The Ritz Hotel.”

TfL does not have a trading agreement with the Big Bus Tours London company. The operation of buses in London that are outside of the TfL bus network are run under a ‘London Service Permit’. These permits do not specify trading arrangements – rather, they specify operational arrangements such as routeing, stopping and standing details. More information on the London Service Permit can be found on our website here:

In particular, I would point you to the Guidance Document published here:

If this is not the information you are looking for, or if you are unable to access it for any reason, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Please see the attached information sheet for details of your right to appeal as well as information on copyright and what to do if you would like to re-use any of the information we have disclosed.

Yours sincerely,
