About

Genuine Routemasters, Lovingly Restored

Unlike many hire firms, London Classic Bus Hire is not a broker. The team owns every bus in its fleet and restores each Routemaster in its own workshop using genuine parts, returning these much-loved vehicles to their original specification. Two full-time mechanics and a dedicated cleaner keep them in immaculate condition, so your bus arrives looking every bit as special as the occasion.

A Personal, Family-Run Service

Couples are welcome to visit and see the buses in person before booking, which offers real peace of mind for such an important decision. The family behind the business prides itself on friendly, attentive service, and calls outside office hours go straight to the Director. Pricing is refreshingly clear, too, with no hidden fees for adjusting pick-up times or addresses once you have booked.

Fleet & Extras

The Routemasters

The classic red Routemasters are ideal for shuttling guests from hotel to ceremony or from church to reception. Each one arrives dressed with a traditional ribbon on the front and an occasion-appropriate destination blind, while Bluetooth speakers mean you can bring your own playlist along for the ride.

Open Top Bus

For a summer celebration, the open top bus seats 68 and boasts a full stereo and speaker system, making it perfect for photographs on the top deck with the breeze in your hair.

Personal Touches

Make the bus truly your own with a personalised destination blind, keepsake tickets for your guests or pretty interior decorations. A selection of drinks, from Bucks Fizz to prosecco, can be served along the way, or you are welcome to bring your own. To talk through the options, send an enquiry using the email form on this page.
