Ride Vintage Double-Decker London Buses for Free

Step back in time to London of yesteryear this March by hitching a ride on a vintage double-decker Routemaster bus. The London Bus Museum is hosting one of its heritage days, this time on Route 38, where buses dating from the 1950s to the 1970s will be running alongside the regular daily service – and even better, rides will be totally FREE.

Route 38, which runs between Victoria and Hackney, making stops in Piccadilly Circus, Tottenham Court Road, Islington and Dalston, has been running since 1912. The heritage service will running from 10am to 5pm on Sat 14th March and you can hop aboard at any point on the route, and even though you don’t need to pay for your ride, you might be lucky enough to receive an old-type ticket. As the buses and Routemasters are several decades old, they’re unfortunately unable to accommodate buggies or wheelchairs.
