One of the most widely recognised vehicles the world over, the AEC Routemaster is a timeless icon.

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
