You can still ride a real London bus.

London’s best loved bus, the Routemaster, has been given a partial reprieve. A couple of heritage routes still operate Routemasters. Today, as we took a cab from Charing Cross to Wigmore Street, we enjoyed the sight of a Routemaster following us, lights blazing in the March sun.

The bus was a ‘B’ reg, dating from the year when Winston Churchill retired as an MP.
