About This Routemaster

A closer look at this Routemaster London Bus, finished in Red with Brown Check Cloth interior

The AEC Routemaster is arguably one of the most recognisable vehicles - certainly one of the most recognisable buses. It is a timeless icon, that’s as recognisable to Britishness as fish and chips or a victoria sponge. It remained in service across London for over 50 years and this Routmaster wedding bus is now available for hire on your big day.

A total of 2,876 Routemasters were built in various different specifications, but the most popular is the standard RM and the RML (Routemaster ‘long’). Regularly maintained and modernised over time, these high capacity vehicles are becoming one of the most popular wedding bus hires for those looking to add charm, nostalgia and extra joy to their special day.

This bus can seat 40 passengers on the upper deck and 32 on the lower deck (72 total). It’s available to hire in Leicestershire down to Oxfordshire and surrounding areas.

Glynne was brilliant on our wedding day. He arrived early, immaculately turned out and the car spotless. It felt so special arriving in a Rolls-Royce. Glynne took us for a drive after the wedding and was super accommodating whilst we took some pictures with the car. Thank you.
