About This Routemaster

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

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.
