London's Buses
Red is the colour
You have to be from outside of London to truly appreciate just how many buses there are. They are iconic, red, beautiful. They are double decker, and they weave in-between traffic with skill and precision. I personally would panic every time I was tasked with traversing from one side of a wide road to the other in an effort to make the turn off and in the midst of traffic, but London drivers do this seemingly effortlessly.
There are so many, you not only can get to where you’re going via bus, anywhere in London, you’re guaranteed to not have to wait too long. No matter what main street you’re on, you’re guaranteed to see one. They make the streets iconic. Nowhere else in the world would you find them, and it means that as soon as you take a picture in London (and most likely with a red bus somewhere in the background, considering) you can instantly recognise it.
Pretty cool, no?
London is filled with icons – the font of the Underground, the red buses, the Elizabeth Tower and Big Ben, the terraced houses. There are so many aspects to London that make it unique in the world. So many cities are only differentiated by their landmarks. Toronto, for instance, is so similar in style to New York it’s used as a substitute in many movies and television shows. You couldn’t do that with London – there’s a flavour to the city that can’t be replicated.
