Routemaster London Bus

Vehicle Ref 413

Vintage red Routemaster bus with white wedding ribbons parked outside a countryside venue in Sussex

About this vehicle:

This classic red Routemaster double-decker bus is a true slice of British heritage — from the era of the swinging sixties it's the perfect way to transport wedding guests in style and fun. Originally built for London’s streets, this lovingly restored icon now brings nostalgia and charm to weddings across Sussex and the South of England.

 

Finished in its signature London Red coachwork, the bus features an open rear boarding platform, classic seating for up to 72 passengers over two decks, and a beautifully maintained and vibrant interior that can be decorated with ribbons and flowers.

 

Whether used for guest transport, bridal party travel, or as a quirky backdrop for wedding photos, the Routemaster adds an unmistakably British flair to any celebration.

 

Fun fact: The Routemaster was first introduced in 1956 and became one of London’s most enduring symbols — many couples choose it today to recreate that quintessentially British wedding moment with a twist of nostalgia and fun.

We booked this wonderful car for our wedding in South Wales and were over the moon with the car itself and the excellent service provided by our driver, Darren. Throughout the enquiry and booking process Premier Carriage were responsive and always available to answer our questions. Prior to the wedding we both agreed an itinerary and any extra details so that we wouldn’t miss any photos opportunities and everything ran smoothly on our big day. Would really recommend using a Premier Carriage car on your big day and a huge thanks to Darran our driver!
