The museum sits on the former site of the world’s first purpose-built motor racing circuit.
Many of the buses in the collection are fully operational and participate in road runs.
The museum houses a rare collection of bus signage, tickets, and conductor equipment from the early 20th century.
The facility is integrated into the wider Brooklands motor and aviation heritage site.
The London Bus Museum is an independent museum located within the historic Brooklands site in Weybridge, dedicated to preserving the history of London’s bus transport. The collection features over 35 historic vehicles, spanning from the Victorian era’s horse-drawn buses to the modern-day fleet. It is the only museum in the world devoted exclusively to the history of the London bus. The facility is housed in a purpose-built, airy gallery that provides significant space for viewing the vehicles at ground level. Visitors can observe ongoing restoration work, as the museum actively maintains its fleet for public events and heritage services. The exhibits are chronologically arranged to illustrate the technical and social evolution of public transit. The site is a registered charity operated by the London Bus Preservation Trust.
The wide-angle view from the center of the main hall provides the best perspective of the chronological bus lineup.
Combine your visit with the neighboring Brooklands Museum to see the full range of motor and aviation exhibits.
Check the museum's events calendar in advance, as the collection size changes when vehicles are taken out for heritage runs.
Wear comfortable shoes, as the venue covers a large floor area and requires significant walking.
Do not attempt to touch the vehicle interiors unless explicitly permitted by staff, as many exhibits are delicate historic artifacts.
Open daily throughout the year, but may have limited operations on certain public holidays.
