It is overpriced, the line is huge, and you get better views of the city from the top of a double-decker bus. The special tour buses run for visitors are a decent deal, but if you're feeling really frugal, you can follow pretty much the same route on regular city buses by using this guy's guide: http://www.londonforfree.net/bustour/bustour.shtml Thanks as always for a great post!
