A double-decker bus is a bus that has two
levels. While double-decker long-distance
coaches are in widespread use around the world,
double-decker city buses are less common.
Double-decker buses are popular in some
European cities and in some parts of Asia,
usually in former British colonies. Many towns
around the world have a few that specialize in
short sightseeing tours for tourists.

The best way to see London is by bus. Take
a special open-top tourist bus when the weather
is good. Do not miss Hyde Park-go for a walk or
sit on the grass and look at the squirrels. Take
some food with you too - squirrels love peanuts!
