Without buses,
London would fall. London is completely dependent on these red icons. In fact,
Londoners use buses so extensively that more than half of all bus journeys
across England are made in London. The red double decker has become a global
icon, and along with their red pillar boxes, and red telephone boxes, is a
constituent part of the Holy Trinity of the red things of Britain. Buses have
been used on London’s streets since the early 1800s. One of the first public
bus services was operated by an enterprising fellow named George Shillibeer,
who began ferrying people about using his horse-drawn omnibus which he ran
between Paddington and the City. His forward thinking idea caught on, and soon,
London was bus town. On your trip to London be sure take at least one ride on
the famous London red bus. When you’re ready to start planning your trip to
London be sure to call or email me. I’d love to help you plan it!
