Description

The London Bus Museum is pleased to welcome you on board a bus journey that has taken nearly 200 years. Here you can re-live the happy times of travelling on these knights of the road, experience the sights, sounds and smells of a past age, evocative of colourful liveries, elegant coachwork, fine leather and moquette upholstery.

A wonderful day out with a difference - indefinably nostalgic for those who rode on them, as well as a world of fascination and wonder for the younger generations, many of whom have never even been on a bus. London Bus Museum displays the culmination of 50 years of preservation work and provides the opportunity to see our vehicles and artefacts in a light, airy and modern environment.

Price starts from £24.85 for Adults(18 years and over), £10.15 for Children(4-17 & under 4 free). If you are looking for Best place for day out with kids and families then this is the perfect destination offering fun, adventure, and unforgettable memories for everyone.

Features

What to see: 150 years of London Bus History under one roof. The London Bus Museum houses the world's largest collection of historic London buses, covering 150 years of development - from the horse-drawn bus of the 1870s to the driver-operated, battery-electric bus of the 21st century. Our buses comprise.
The main display: Many of our buses on display in the Museum. Although on display, most of these buses are in working order and also appear on the road from time to time. They are much in demand for film and TV work. Our volunteers will be pleased to answer any questions you have about the buses and their background history. PLEASE do not board them without permission from our staff. For safety reasons we request visitors with children to keep them under supervision
The working fleet: We are a working bus museum and most of our vehicles have been restored to, and are maintained in, working order. Not on show within the timeline display is a small selection of buses used as a “handling” fleet which comes out onto the road and, on occasions such as our special events and running days, provides rides. These buses are housed in our adjacent Restoration & Maintenance Workshop and, although not on display, can sometimes be glimpsed when the workshop doors are open in fine weather. On occasions, and when it is safe to do so, an escorted tour of the workshop may be arranged upon request to one of our stewards but we ask for your understanding that this may not be possible on the occasion of your visit.
Buses undergoing restoration & maintenance: The Museum has a fully equipped, modern workshop in which our skilled volunteers maintain our working fleet as well as carry out those award-winning restorations for which the Museum has become renowned. Most of the restorations involve a complete re-build from a wreck that has been discovered in a field or barn somewhere and a number of the buses on display in the Hall have been through this process. A restoration not only requires the incredible skills of those who refurbish irreplaceable parts as well as craft new ones but also the hard work of the researchers who delve deep into ancient records to ensure that colours and other details are painstakingly accurate.
