About this vehicle:

The Red London Routemaster bus is as iconic as the famous London black cabs. This particular bus was first registered on December 1st 1965 and was in operation across various areas of the capital until 2005! Having been fully restored to its original, vintage glory, it makes for a fantastic wedding bus.

 

It is capable of seating up to 42 seated and 10 standing passengers on the lower deck. It has the option (at extra cost) to have food and drinks served en-route. Some of the photos show the bus decked out as a bar with drinks and canapes and also as an afternoon tea service. 

 

We are sure you will not find a better way to travel to your wedding venue along with all your guests. It is a unique experience that will add charm to your big day.

Both Didier and Peter were great to work with. The details were clarified with Didier and once passed to Peter, we had 2 phone calls ahead of the wedding to ensure everything was correct. Peter arrived promptly to pick the Bride up prior to the ceremony and was happy to take a slightly longer route to fit our timings better. The car was lovely and we had a great chat with Peter on the way to our reception, he was very friendly. Everything ran smoothly, we would 100% recommend to friends and family. The car was a big talking point for the rest of the day, and still now!

Excellent service. Came on time and the car was immaculate. Unfortunately the weather wasnt on our side and we couldn't take any photos with the car. I would highly recommend Premier Carriage for a wedding car hire.

David, supported by his wife provided us not only with an enjoyable drive from the church to our reception but also excellent photos of our first moments as husband and wife.
