Double-decker red buses are a traditional way to get into London, and it is usually to see those carrying travelers around the city area. But now those buses are being phased out in favour of modern replacements to give more comfort to the users. On the modern buses you pay the driver as you board, and you must have the exact change. However you can use a travelcard and get the bus without any problems of course.
