A Day at the Races

Arrive in style at the racecourse in an open top Routemaster and set yourself above the crowds in more ways than one - you will get a perfect view from the top deck. We can also arrange for refreshments and a light buffet to be served by prior arrangement. Please have a look at the Events page

Private Parties

Whatever the occasion, we can help make your day go much more smoothly by providing the last word in memorable transport for you and your guests. After all, it's not everyday that getting there is as much a part of the fun as the party itself!

You are welcome to decorate the bus yourselves - we will arrive a bit earlier to give you time to do this.

Client Entertainment

Thinking of a way to amaze your new or favourite clients? Overwhelm your guests by taking them to a sporting event in one of our open or closed top Routemaster London buses. Wimbledon, Twickenham, the Derby - they'll never be the same again! Alternatively, you may decide to take your overseas visitors for a bespoke tour of London or your local area.

Christmas Parties

Finding a restaurant's one thing, but what about the transport? With up to 72 seats, our Routemaster London buses could be just what you're looking for to get everyone from work to the party and dropped off at pre-arranged points afterwards.

Children's Parties

Holding your kids birthday party on our big red London buses is great fun for children and parents alike. A typical party might involve a two hour round trip - here will be breaks somewhere for the kids to stretch their legs. You are welcome to decorate the bus to suit the birthday party atmosphere, and to provide party food for the kids (please help to clean up afterwards though!). If you want, we can provide a customized “Happy Birthday” destination blind. We always provide a conductor whose job is to ensure everybody's safety on board the bus.
We recommend a group of up to around 20 kids, with at least two adults (excluding the conductor).

Filming

We have a range of vintage buses (not just Routemasters) for hire as a film or photographic location. Please enquire for further details.

Private London Sightseeing Tours

Hire a big red vintage London bus for a customized sightseeing or shopping tour of London. We arrange London sightseeing tours for any number of people  and will provide a Blue Badge tour guide on request. The maximum number of people we can accommodate on board each Routemaster is 72.

The bus will be exclusively for your use, so you will be able to leave your purchases on board while you hop off and explore - there will always be at least one of our staff on the bus at any time.

We can help you design an itinerary, a detailed plan of your journey that will include a list of places to visit; plan of travel and so on...If you are not familiar with London, we can suggest our own tour. The tour can last as long as you like, from an hour to a whole day. It certainly beats the big tour bus companies for the personal touch and is competitively priced for visiting groups.

Ask us about our special Night Time Tours.

Depending on the time of year we will quote for either a covered or open top Routemaster. Given the great British weather, we might swap an open top for a closed bus to ensure that you keep dry, but only in agreement with the hirer.

Shuttle services

Are you organising an all day event, and need to get people there and back from a mainline station or between two locations? A hop on / hop off Routemaster bus provides a stylish and convenient solution.

Ad Wraps

There is no more effective way of getting your corporate or sponsorship message across than by having an entire Routemaster bus wrapped with you logo / ad campaign. Please contact us for further information.

Maintenance and conversion

Are you a bus owner? If you are interested in maintenance or bodywork for any kind of bus (not just a Routemaster), including conversion work please contact us to discuss further.
