When they say “London” what do you think of? Yes: the big, bright red London bus. People love it. And of all the big bright red buses ever, the RTW and Routemaster models were most loved. When “they” planned to ditch them, Londoners protested. But as usual, “they” won.

Now, however you can own an authentic replica of this – one of the world’s very few instantly recognised and loved symbols. An authentic die-cast metal model from the original Corgi master moulds – available nowhere else. But if Londoners loved the buses, which route brings back most memories? Was it the 22, through Piccadilly, to the swinging King’s Road in Chelsea – past Mary Quant’s boutique?
Did Twiggy or the Beatles take it to World’s End? Well, that’s this bus’s route.

Did you know... Police “banned” it! 4-page full colour booklet tells its story
At first, police did not allow the RTW class in Central London, as it was 6” wider than existing buses. But after a trial they entered daily service from early 1951 – until May 1966. Only 8 of the original 500 buses exist in the UK. Read their story in this fascinating booklet.
