Sightseeing in style.
Back in the 1970 and 80s, the variety of vehicles plying for trade on the numerous round London sightseeing tours was truly amazing. One bus which took my eye and which I'd seen several times was this ex East Kent full fronted Park Royal bodied AEC Regent V. Normally I'd pass it whilst driving, but on this one occasion between the Houses of Parliament and Westminster Abbey I was fortunate enough to just turn round with sufficient time to raise the camera to it. From memory, 'Big Bus's PFN 853 usually acted in the role of static booking office somewhere around Hyde Park leaving the actual business of carrying passengers to newer ex London Transport DMSs, or at least that's how it seemed to the occasional visitor.
