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

Absolutely loved having John and his campervan as my transport for the morning of my wedding. The camper was immaculate inside and out and John was lovely, it was a brilliant way to kick off the day. Wouldn’t change a single thing!

Myself & my partner Kane couldn't recommend Premier Carriage enough. Our car was not only beautiful but inside and out immaculate. We had the most relaxing journeys & a glass of fizz to our venue to celebrate. Michael was an absolute gentleman and we couldn't have asked for a better driver!
