Description

Two decks worth exploring

Unlike a display-only shell, the London Bus puts real effort into what's inside: rows of seating on both decks, a driver's area at the front, and a spiral staircase connecting the two levels. The roof lifts away so the upper deck is visible from above, while the side windows give a view onto the lower deck as well. That level of interior detail explains why a relatively compact footprint still adds up to 1,686 pieces — a large share of them go into details you'd otherwise never notice from outside the finished model, tucked away under the roofline and behind the windows.

Red, grey, black and tan

The parts list leans heavily on red, with light bluish grey for the chassis and window frames, black for tyres and mechanical details, and tan tones through the interior. That mix produces the recognisable London look, where the bodywork's deep red catches the eye first while the quieter interior colours provide contrast once the roof comes off. Working through the parts list on this page, you'll notice how many curved and specialised red elements are needed to get the bus's rounded silhouette right, especially around the front and rear ends.

243 elements and no minifigures

With 243 unique elements across 1,686 pieces, the London Bus brings a wide variety of shapes rather than relying on heavy repetition, which is typical of the Creator Expert line. Expect plenty of specialised parts for the bodywork, glazing and interior fittings rather than the same few bricks reused throughout, which keeps the build varied but also asks for a bit more care when sorting pieces beforehand. There are no minifigures — the vehicle itself is the focus, and once built it works equally well as a shelf piece with the roof on or off, showing off the carefully detailed interior to anyone who takes a closer look at the model.
