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.

5/5 Stars – Fantastic Routemaster Experience!We had an incredible experience with this bus hire company for our event!Our main point of contact, Rory, was absolutely amazing and everything we could have hoped for. He made the planning process seamless and stress-free. On the day, the Routemaster bus was extremely clean and presented beautifully. Our guests had the absolute best time!The only minor hiccup we had was a brief period where I couldn't get my phone to connect to the bus speakers via Bluetooth to play our music. However, the bus driver was incredibly kind and accommodating. he let us use his own connection to play our playlist so the party didn't stop! That kind of excellent customer service really saved the day. I would highly recommend this company to anyone looking for a classic Routemaster hire. Thank you all again for a memorable trip!
