1960s Routemaster Wedding Bus Hire in London & Surrounding Areas for Larger Wedding Parties
The iconic red London Routemaster is a favourite for couples looking for an alternative form of large-group wedding transport in and around London. With their classic styling, open rear platform and unmistakable London character, these beautifully restored vintage buses are instantly recognisable, highly photogenic, and full of personality.
Routemaster buses do more than create a memorable backdrop for wedding photographs. They also solve a practical problem by keeping a larger wedding party together between the ceremony and reception. Our double-decker buses can seat up to 66 passengers while our single-deckers typically accommodate 30–40 guests depending on the model.
Why Hire a London Wedding Bus?
If your wedding includes travel between venues or a scenic route through London, hiring a Routemaster bus adds something genuinely distinctive. It is not the traditional bridal car choice, but for couples who want memorable group transport with personality, it is hard to beat. And if the bride and groom prefer to travel separately from the wider wedding party, we can also provide a white London TX4 taxi as a charming and characterful companion vehicle.

Keep the Wedding Party Together
There is something undeniably special about a proper London bus at a wedding. Whether your venue is a grand hotel, a country house or a city setting, a vintage wedding bus brings character, convenience and a sense of occasion to the day. It keeps guests together, instead of worrying about separate cars, late arrivals or family members getting lost between venues.
With an experienced driver and a pre-agreed schedule, everyone travels together in one coordinated journey. Your transport becomes one less thing to worry about. You can focus on enjoying the day while your guests travel in comfort and style. That makes the day smoother for your guests and far easier to manage for you.
The Iconic Routemaster London Bus
The Routemaster is one of the most recognisable wedding transport options in London. These red buses from the 1950s and 60s are full of vintage character and bring a very different feel to a wedding day than a standard coach or minibus. For couples searching for vintage double-decker wedding bus hire in London, they offer both practicality and theatre. They look wonderful in photographs, create a real sense of occasion, and give guests a journey that feels like part of the celebration rather than a simple transfer.
Classic Double-Decker Buses
Our classic double-decker Routemasters are ideal for larger wedding parties. With seating for up to 66 guests, they are a stylish and practical way to keep everyone together between venues.
They work particularly well for:
- ceremony to reception transport
- guest collection from hotels
- scenic London routes between locations
- larger family and bridal-party travel
Single-Decker Wedding Buses
For smaller weddings, tighter venues or routes where height is an issue, our vintage single-decker buses are a charming alternative. Typically seating 30–40 guests, they offer the same character and vintage appeal in a more compact format.
They are especially well suited to:
- boutique weddings
- city venues
- registry office ceremonies
- shorter guest-transfer journeys
Perfect for Every Wedding Moment
Wedding bus hire can be tailored around your day, whether you need transport between the ceremony and reception, guest shuttle services, or end-of-night travel for family and friends. A wedding bus can work beautifully for:
- Ceremony to reception – keep the day flowing smoothly between venues
- Guest shuttles – collect guests from hotels or central pick-up points
- End-of-night transport – help family and friends travel back together
- Photography opportunities – create memorable London wedding images with a genuine vintage Routemaster
Your wedding day deserves transport that feels every bit as special as the celebration itself. A Routemaster adds character, practicality and an unmistakably London touch that guests remember long after the day is over. It's one of the most practical ways to move a larger group while also adding atmosphere and a sense of occasion.
If you are planning a wedding in London or the surrounding Home Counties and need memorable group transport, we would be delighted to help. Get in touch to check availability and discuss the best bus option for your date, route and guest numbers.
Prom Cars & Limos for Every Style & Budget
How to Choose Your Ideal Prom VehicleThere’s no single “right” prom car — just what fits your group, vibe, and budget. You may be looking for a luxury limousine for two, or a fully-loaded party bus for a group of 16 or more kids or young adults. Every group will find the perfect prom car or limo here because we have a wide variety of vehicles to choose from, including:
- Luxury Cars
- Perfect for couples or small groups, who want understated class. Choose from our high-quality luxury limousines range including Rolls-Royce, Bentley, Mercedes S-Class and Range Rover. For Downton Abbey fans we have a range of vintage style limousines, including a Beauford grand 'open tourer' or a Bramswith 7-seat landaulette with drop down rear roof - great for a photo opportunity.
- Stretch Limousines
- Make a grand entrance in a stretch limousine — the iconic prom look with lights, sound, and space for 7—16 passengers. Opulent and sophisticated, with leather seating, air-con, and mood lighting, these are our most popular prom vehicles: Hummer H2/H3 SUV limo, Ford Expedition, Chrysler Baby Bentley, Range Rover limo, Lincoln Town Car or a unique red F1 Ferrari limo.
- Fully-Loaded Party Buses
- A party bus is the way to go if you're looking for more excitement than a stretch limo can provide. This is what you want to get to make the most of your night, with seating for 8—16 people and onboard interior laser lighting and dance floors and premium sound systems — ideal for the social “pre-party” atmosphere. Our high quality, customised Mercedes party buses are available in white, black and hot pink!
