Welcome to The London Bus Company

We are the largest operator of classic buses that were previously owned by London Transport.

Vehicles are available for weddings, civil partnerships, corporate transport, advertising.
See the links above for the relevant option.

Each hire is priced individually. Please complete a quotation form and if you obtain a cheaper written quote we will try to match it.

From the Routemaster in standard 64 seat variant to 57 & 65 seat Greenline coach type to the largest 72 passenger ones.

These are the mainstay of our operations. If you would like to hire an older type we have vehicles from the late 1940’s with 56 seats to a single deck 39 red central London bus from 1952.

For those that fancy the open air our two open top buses can be used. One is a 56 seat 1952 vintage (30 on top deck) the other a 1949 35 seat single decker (Daisy) the only vehicle we have that did not operate in London.
For weddings the vehicle comes with ribbons and a bow on the front and the destination blinds reading Wedding Special & Congratulations. All our vehicles are operated under a strict service schedule as defined by VOSA (Vehicle and Operator Services Agency) they are also subject to an annual Class 6 MOT, the most stringent. All are fitted with Tachographs, to record drivers hours. They are also taxed correctly as buses and carry an operator’s licence (Blue tax type disc)
We hope you will book your transport with us, but if not, please be aware of the dangers of using an unlicensed operator. If they are not complying with the servicing and licensing details or are taxed as Historic Vehicles then their insurance will be invalidated.
