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.
Drinks Service in this Routemaster Bus:
If you'd like to provide celebratory drinks to your wedding guests this is perfectly fine but we do ask you to be aware of a few requirements. Due to UK licensing laws you will need to provide your own drinks whether it be Champagne, Wine or soft drinks. You must arrange to have them delivered to the Routemaster's base a few days before the hire day so they can be suitably chilled and loaded aboard for the day of the hire. You will also need to provide glasses, but due to safety issues they must be plastic or paper cups, No breakable glass. On the day, the drinks will be served to your guests by the Bus Crew as they board the bus. All glasses, empty bottles and any other debris will be collected and disposed of by the Bus Crew at the end of the trip. The cost of this additional service is £80.

Verified Reviews from Past Clients

From Chloe Reid

We had this car for our wedding day and it was absolutely perfect! It was a beautiful car, incredibly clean and received so many compliments. Mike was very helpful in the lead up to the day, always answering my questions promptly and nothing was ever a trouble. Peter, the driver on the day, was amazing - he was friendly, arrived early and was really kind and helpful. When we arrived at the venue there was some rain, and Peter helped me stay dry with his big umbrella, which I really appreciated. He gave us complimentary Prosecco and stayed until we had finished our photos with the car. Peter also let my husband’s Grandad sit in the driver’s seat, which he absolutely loved and made for one our favourite photos from the day. Thank you so much for being such a special part of our wedding day!

My driver was fantastic! He turned up half an hour earlier which gave us a good opportunity to take some photos with the car before we set off. The driver was polite and professional, very well dressed and was happy to go above and beyond for my day. The car was beautifully presented and suited the whole theme of my day! It was also within our budget too which was even better! Thank you so much! You made the start of my day very special!
