Fifty Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 There are loads of the Big Bus Tour buses that sit outside one of the hotels there - it was probably one of them. They are actually on Woburn Place, slightly towards Russell Square tube, not Tavistock Square itself. Christ, I used to sit in the garden at Tavistock Square and read my bloody paper around this time on days off... And I have been off for the last month, so I have been there quite a bit.
