Double decker buses wall murals and history

Did you know that the first double-decker was actually a two-level horse-drawn carriage in the streets of Paris way back in 1828? Although started by a Stanislas Baudry, it was brought over to London by a man named George Shillibeer whose bus could hold up 22 people at 1 shilling per ride. Therefore, with double decker buses wall murals, you not only have a beautiful wall decor, but also a remnant of innovation. The first engine-powered version of the double-decker in London started operating in the 1920s which caused a frenzy of competition among the now many companies in England's capital. By the later end of the decade, there were already about 20(!) different bus companies driving all over the Big Smoke. However, something done by the London General Omnibus Company, the largest of these businesses, would define this mode of transportation until now. They wanted to be different from their competitors and decided to paint their own buses exclusively red. You will see how this had a massive impact when you look at your double decker buses wall murals. Nowadays even though the underground "Tube" has become many locals’ preferred method of transport, you will still see plenty of double-deckers in London.

Fame in double decker buses wall murals

You are probably aware that the double-decker is practically synonymous with London by now. Some would even say that this mode of transportation is a national symbol! The original incarnation mentioned earlier evolved into what is known as the "Routemaster", which took its first strides in 1956. You can see it in our different double decker buses wall murals. Although it was phased out in 2005, it was retained to so-called heritage routes as a way to show tourists the city's sights, and another version inspired by the "Routemaster" was introduced in 2021. They can try as they might but seeing London from the top of a double-decker simply cannot be beaten. Double decker buses wall murals like "London Map with Bus" are the visual proof of that.
