Along with red telephone boxes and pillar boxes, black taxis, Big Ben and police officers in helmets, the red London double-decker remains one of the most instantly recognisable images of Britain today, identifiable internationally and often used to emphasise the Britishness of exports.
In this publication, we salute the 9,500 buses - nearly three quarters of them are double-deckers - in service across London today, a fleet that has grown in 50 years from around 6,000 to meet the complex travel needs of a population that continues to grow. This is one of the most intensive public bus services in any city in the world.
We also salute the London buses of past decades, the tens of thousands of them that have served Londoners and those visiting London since before London Transport – forerunner of today’s Transport for London - was created in 1933.
