About This Routemaster

A closer look at this Routemaster London Bus, finished in London Transport Red with Clock interior

This famous classic Red London Routemaster Bus was a familiar sight in the capital during the late 50’s and 60’s. It has a rear open platform loading and Double Deck seating.

The photographs show the traditional Upper Deck with 36 seats and the Lower Deck with 28 seats.  We are advised that fares will not be collected during the trip ! 

This is a fabulous way for all of your guests to travel together and of course solves the parking problem at the church.  A Big Red London Bus will certainly be a talking point at the wedding.

Food and drinks on board this bus:

Food and drink are welcome on this bus, as long as this is agreed in advance. We simply ask that you let us know what you plan to bring and when it will be loaded onto the bus.

Small beer bottles and cans are fine, as they are easy and safe to handle. For everyone’s safety, bottles must not be opened or popped on the bus. If you would like to enjoy bubbly, this can be opened off the bus and served in plastic cups before boarding. Those drinks can then be brought on board if needed.

Please note that all drinks must be in plastic, cans, or cartons. At the end of the journey, we kindly ask that all rubbish is collected and removed.

In the unlikely event of sickness or spillages that require professional cleaning, a valet charge of £150 will apply. 

We take great pride in our vintage vehicles and ask that you and your guests treat them with care throughout your journey.
