Filming

Perfect for Film, TV, Music and Fashion Shoots.

The London Bus Company has a variety of  heritage vehicles, both single and double deck, from different eras, from the 40’s, 50’s, 60’s, 70’s, 80’s, 90’s and Routemasters which were still going strong in the 00’s!  Have the right era of bus in your period shoot! We have provided many buses for TV and Film sets and on street filming, Music Videos, Adverts, Fashion Shoots and hosting interviews. The classic Routemaster bus inside and outside is popular for music videos, tv work and advertising campaigns. We have buses styled for different eras and can gladly advise on the most suitable vehicle for historic accuracy for period work. We have different liveried buses that can be passing in the shoot background. We can arrange for the bus to be showing route numbers and destinations that match the shoot location and period or be totally fictional.

***Note: Due to changes in Insurance Rules, we can not provide buses where filming with a hand held camera operator is occurring on a moving bus on a public highway. Nor can we provide buses where celebrities or sports stars are being conveyed, nor any kind of operation where those on board are not seated in a normal bus travel fashion. Our buses CAN be used as background and scenery vehicles, including moving shots, or, if the buses are static on private land or in studios, filmed from inside such as fashion, tv or music videos. Remote operated cameras can be mounted to bus poles and seat frames to film internally.

Where celebrities or other interior film work on a moving bus on a public road is taking place the hirer must provide their own insurance for this type of specialist hire. This must include road risk cover as required by The Road Traffic Act where on street filming is to occur. We will need to see proof of cover before sending a bus out. Our insurance will not cover any type of filming hire where restrictions apply, as detailed above.***

For more information regarding any film, static photo shoots use the quote or enquiry buttons to the right giving as much detail of your plans as possible (we will maintain any secrecy required) . Please note that VAT rules require that VAT is paid on any hire used primarily for film work (still or moving), but registered businesses can claim this back in the usual way..
