IWM Group & Restaurant Associates have partnered with Vintage Red Buses to offer a truly distinctive arrival experience for private events across IWM’s London venues. Combining the character and nostalgia of a classic London bus with the history and atmosphere of some of the capital’s most iconic venues, this unique experience gives guests the opportunity to make their journey part of the event itself.
Guests can be collected directly from their office, meeting location or daytime venue and begin their evening with a memorable journey through the heart of London. Depending on the occasion, the vintage bus can provide a relaxed sightseeing tour, allowing guests to take in some of London’s most recognisable landmarks, or, during the festive season, a Christmas Lights tour showcasing the city at its most magical.
The experience provides an exciting alternative to simply travelling by taxi or coach, creating an opportunity for guests to socialise, enjoy refreshments and soak up the atmosphere before they even arrive at their event. The distinctive vintage styling of the bus also creates a fantastic backdrop for photographs and adds an element of nostalgia and occasion to the evening.
For Christmas celebrations at Churchill War Rooms, HMS Belfast and IWM London, the vintage bus can add an extra sense of theatre to an evening of celebration, dining and entertainment. Travelling through London surrounded by the city’s festive lights before arriving at one of these historic venues creates a memorable experience that complements both the character of the venues and the spirit of the season.
Whether you are planning a corporate Christmas party, private dinner, client entertaining or a special celebration, the Vintage Red Bus experience offers a unique way to bring guests together and make the occasion memorable from the moment they set off. It is a particularly fitting addition to events taking place at IWM venues, where London’s rich history, culture and heritage are already central to the guest experience.
