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.

We had an excellent experience with this car on our Wedding Day! The driver was fantastic and tried his best to get us around as quickly as possible, despite the terrible traffic conditions. Thank you very much for such a comfortable day with five star service. Best wishes, Natasha & Izaak

Overall a good experience. the car was in great condition and clean and the driver very polite and courteous and arrived on time. Some communication issues however…. I did telephone days before to discuss a different pickup address which was a very short distance from the original and was told that this caused no issues at all.

This is a beautiful car. A surprise for the bride and her bridesmaids and they were thrilled. Communications with the chauffeur James were excellent. Neither could have been more helpful and accommodating. I am delighted with both the vericle and the service provided. I have not yet received the official wedding photos but will forward copies once I have them.
