Coordinates: 51°21′11″N 0°27′54″W / 51.353°N 0.465°W / 51.353; -0.465 The London Bus Museum is a museum operated by the London Bus Preservation Trust.[1]

Based at Cobham, Surrey from its opening in 1972, the museum was relocated to Brooklands Museum during the spring and summer of 2011.[2] The new site opened on 1 August 2011.[3] As of August 2011, it is open every day of the week.

The display covers a timeline sequence of 35 buses built between 1875 and 1979, and includes the prototype AEC Regent III RT. Several bus-related artefacts are also owned.[4]
