About This Routemaster

A closer look at this Routemaster London Bus, finished in Red & Gold with Blue & Cream interior

The Red London Routemaster bus is as iconic as the famous London black cabs. This particular bus was first registered on 1st December 1965 and remained in service across various parts of London until 2005. Having been fully restored to its original vintage glory, this wedding bus now provides a unique and memorable way to transport your wedding guests.

The bus can comfortably accommodate up to 44 seated passengers, plus 10 standing passengers on the lower deck, making it ideal for transporting larger groups between venues.

For an even more memorable experience, you can add our on board drinks service (additional cost). As a fully licensed venue, the bus can be transformed into a mobile bar, serving drinks, canapés or even a traditional afternoon tea during your journey. Some of the photos show examples of these popular options.

To keep the celebrations going, music can also be played throughout your journey. You're welcome to bring a CD to play through the bus's built in sound system, or if you prefer to use your own playlist, we can provide a Bluetooth speaker. Simply let us know when booking so we can have it ready on board.

Please note that, as the bus operates as a licensed venue when drinks service is provided, guests are not permitted to bring and consume their own alcoholic drinks on board. If you would like drinks served during your journey, please speak to us about the available drinks packages and catering options.

Whether you're transporting guests from the ceremony to the reception or simply looking to add something different to your wedding day, there's no better way to travel together. A classic Routemaster is an experience in itself and one that your guests will remember long after the celebrations have finished.
