About this vehicle:

One of the most widely recognised vehicles the world over, the AEC Routemaster is a timeless icon. It has as much London pedigree as Big Ben or The Houses of Parliament.  First introduced in the 1950s, this classic double-decker bus became an integral part of the city’s public transport system, operating for over five decades. Its distinctive design and vibrant red colour have made it an iconic bus for wedding hire. ! This beautifully restored Routemaster wedding bus is available to hire for your special day.

 

For weddings, the Routemaster offers a unique blend of nostalgia and style. This bus has been meticulously preserved and updated, making it perfect for transporting wedding guests in comfort and elegance. With an open rear platform for easy boarding, the Routemaster can seat 40 passengers on the upper deck and 32 on the lower deck, providing ample space for friends and family. Available for hire in London and the home counties, this charming vintage bus ensures a memorable and picturesque journey on your special day. This old Red Bus can often be seen at some popular registry office in London

From start to finish, these guys were amazing! We hired 2 x Routemaster buses for our transport to and from our venue for our annual company event, and our staff just adored them! They made such a big impact and kick started our day off perfectly! Not to mention, they were incredibly helpful when sorting the personalised signage for the front of each bus. Would definitely book again, and highly recommend!

The car arrived promptly 15minutes before the allotted time. The driver, Peter, was very professional and was very kind and understanding. He even let me direct him a longer route, down some country lanes, not just direct to the venue. I honestly had the best time ever. Thank you!
