Get swept away by London charm with this 1985 Corgi Red London Double Decker Bus, a vintage diecast gem that proudly flaunts the iconic Hamleys “The Finest Toyshop in the World” banner!

This delightful two-floor English bus miniature isn’t just a toy—it’s a piece of British history ready to transform your home décor or light up any collector’s shelf.

❤️ A Peek into British Bus History
Double decker buses date back to the 1800s in Britain, originally pulled by horses before evolving into the motorized red icons we know and love.
While countries worldwide have tried to mimic that head-turning style, most didn’t adopt double decker public buses as widely—blame narrower roads, overhead cables, or different design preferences. But in Britain, these towering buses have always been a practical (and super fun!) way to zip around the city.

🚌 Corgi Toys Ltd (founded in the 1950s by Mettoy, based in Swansea, Great Britain) earned a global reputation for creating legendary diecast vehicles—including this unforgettable London Transport model.
Known for their high-quality craftsmanship and incredible detail, Corgi’s collectibles remain a top choice for toy enthusiasts and serious vintage collectors alike.

◼️ Route #6 details: Strand → Oxford Circus → Regent St
◼️ Fun side decals include:
“Hamleys: The Finest Toyshop in the World”
“Keep Britain Tidy” sign
◼️ Made in Great Britain from sturdy metal and plastic components.
