London Classic Bus Hire Ltd

London Classic Bus Hire Ltd hires out restored Routemaster buses and an open top bus for weddings, based in Gravesend, Kent, close to the M25. The buses carry up to 72 passengers, so a whole wedding party can travel between ceremony and reception together instead of in a string of cars or taxis.

Every hire comes with an experienced driver and a uniformed conductor. A ribbon on the front and a destination blind for the occasion are included for weddings, and couples can add personalised blinds and tickets, interior decorations or a drinks package. The team says its buses are genuine classic Routemasters, not replicas, and carry no adverts.

The company has worked on weddings for nearly 20 years, mostly in London and Kent, and also covers the wider South East. Couples are welcome to come and view the buses before booking, and quotes are free and without obligation.
