About this vehicle:

The AEC Routemaster bus stands out as a globally recognised symbol of London's heritage, on par with landmarks like the London Eye and Big Ben. Having served the capital for over 50 years, these high-capacity vehicles are now a popular choice of bus for wedding hire.

 

Each Routemaster bus features an open rear boarding platform. With a total seating capacity of 72 passengers across its upper and lower decks, it provides ample space for everyone to enjoy the journey together. Should you require additional buses for larger guest lists, we offer two more identical buses, each accommodating another 72 passengers. Photos in the gallery show all three buses and showcase their charm and suitability for making your wedding day truly memorable. 

 

All buses come with the standard 'Wedding Special' sign, and personalised signs can be arranged upon request for a small extra fee. To enhance the experience even further, we can also add a drinks service onboard, including 72 glasses for toasting the happy couple (champagne to be provided by the client). 

 

This bus is available to hire in London, as well as surrounding counties.

A huge thank you to Nick for the most amazing service on our wedding day. He arrived with plenty of time to spare and there was no pressure to leave for the ceremony until I was ready. Nick then drove us from the ceremony to our venue and made the whole experience so easy and such fun for us. We had so many compliments on the car. Thanks for making us feel so special!

Absolutely amazing from first contact to saying goodbye. Communication through WhatsApp was good and nothing was too much hassle. We requested a play list to be played to our wedding and to the after venue and was no problem. Harry arrived at our home early which was nice to show off the wedding car before setting off. The car itself "WOW" there is no more explanation needed. We asked for gold ribbon which was the perfect colour match. He was the perfect chauffeur and didn't rush us and let us take our time. We were even surprised to find a small gift from Harry when we got back into the gorgeous car when heading to the after venue. A massive thank you for making our day that little bit more special.

Had a fabulous experience from start to finish with Keyhole Motors for my daughter’s wedding car! Hired a beautifully spotless blue & ivory Imperial Landaulette and can’t thank driver Dave enough. Would definitely recommend everyone involved!! Thanks

Wow, what a car and what a driver. Everything was perfect, no rush service in a fantastic car. My daughter had no idea that we had arranged the car and was genuinely blown away. A perfect start to a perfect day.

We hired a vintage London red bus for one of our wedding events in the Cotswolds, and it was absolutely perfect. The team was reliable, professional, and incredibly easy to work with from start to finish. The bus arrived right on time, beautifully presented, and added such a fun, charming touch to our celebrations. Our guests loved the experience, and it made the day feel even more special. Highly recommend for anyone looking to add a unique and memorable element to their event!
