Have you tried the 139 London bus for cheap sightseeing?

There are many London Bus Route that are Great for Sightseeing. I like the number 139 route as it starts in northwest London, passes through central London, and ends in southeast London so there's a lot to see.
Do note, London Buses no Longer Accept Cash Fares so you will need an Oyster Card but if you have it loaded with a travel card your bus trip is free (well, it costs no more for however much travel to do). Or you could use a Contact less Payment Card which will also 'cap' at the one day travel card rate however many journeys you take.

There are some great official hop-on-hop-off sightseeing bus tours but, if you have some confidence traveling on London buses, you can make any route a hop on/hop off service.

The No. 139 London Bus

Time needed: 1 hour approx.

Start: West Hampstead

Finish: Waterloo
To reach the start of the route you need to go to West Hampstead station which is on the Jubilee Line for the Underground and is also on the Overground network. Walk up West End Lane to bus stop T, near to West End Green. It's on the righthand side of the road as you walk up the hill and is under ten minutes away. (Do note the Underground and Overground stations are not in the same building but are on the same stretch of West End Lane.)

On the same side as the bus stop there are some charity shops to browse for a bargain.
I must say I had the nicest bus driver who smiled and laughed with the first passengers on and stopped and waited for passengers dashing to bus stops along the route.
As ever, it's good to get an upper deck front row seat, which is why it's worth coming to the start of the route. I had a very clean bus as it had clearly been washed recently (but, sadly, this meant the front windows were a bit smeared so I couldn't great photos) yet I did still have a good enough view of the sights along the way.
