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.

Verified Reviews from Past Clients

We hired a Land Rover as our wedding car, and it honestly couldn’t have been more perfect. The vehicle itself was absolutely stunning and fit the setting of our North Yorkshire wedding beautifully — rugged, classic, and full of character. It made for some amazing photo opportunities out on the moorland!Our driver was fantastic from start to finish. He arrived on time (actually early, which really helped calm the nerves), was incredibly professional, and had such a friendly, relaxed manner that instantly put everyone at ease — especially the bride and her dad on the drive to the venue.After the ceremony, he took us out for photos across the moors, and it turned into one of our favourite parts of the day. He went above and beyond to make sure we had the best experience possible — nothing felt rushed, and his attention to detail really showed.We can’t thank him enough for helping make our day so special. Highly recommend to anyone looking for something a bit different, memorable, and full of charm for their wedding transport.— Ross & Amy Hinchliffe

Good afternoon,My parents surprised us with a London Cab to take us from the church to our wedding venue on 20th September (as a reference to Matt being from London as we got married in my hometown in Wales), and we just wanted to send a quick email to say how amazing our driver, Alistair was! A big thank you for helping us make our day special and especially for standing in the torrential rain while we had a few photos and allow the younger children to pose with it.We can't wait to get these photos back from the photographer!  Hannah and Mat
