London Buses

Vintage colour photos of London buses from the 1950s to the 1990s, documenting one of the most familiar and enduring features of the capital’s transport system across the post-war decades. Taken on colour film, these images capture buses as an everyday part of London life, operating across streets, junctions, and neighbourhoods throughout the city.

This collection includes views of double-deck and single-deck buses, bus routes, depots, streetscapes, passengers, and surrounding urban scenes, reflecting changes in vehicle design, liveries, and public transport infrastructure over several decades. From busy central routes to suburban services, the photographs preserve a detailed visual record of London buses before later modernisation transformed the network.

All images are available as high-resolution, royalty-free digital downloads suitable for editorial, commercial, or personal use.
