Discovering the Routemaster

One sunny Sunday, a good day to head to Finsbury park for the Routemaster 60, a parade celebrating the iconic buses on their 60th anniversary. I went to the par expecting to see a few old buses, but what was displayed turned out to be such a treat!

There were more than a hundred buses at least on display, they looked almost surreal, like a row of toy buses neatly stacked together by a child in his playroom. Shiny and polished, they seemed to be in mint condition, even taking tourists on short rides around the park. The old bus drivers, re living the nostalgia.

It was an afternoon well spent, and on the side, Finsbury park is actually quite lovely. I wouldn't mind coming down here more often and spending long hours on the grass with a book.
