The AEC Routemaster was designed and manufactured in the United Kingdom by the Associated Equipment Company (AEC) at the turn of the 1950s and 1960s. Production started in 1954, and the first units entered service as early as 1956. The Routemaster bus served in London's regular public transport for over 40 years, becoming a true legend of British streets. It was widely used by London Transport until the early 21st century, gaining great acclaim for its reliability, original construction, and unique styling.

The period of AEC Routemaster operation covers the post-war era of the classic 1950s, 60s, and 70s up to modern times. The model replicates the iconic vehicle known, among others, from lines 9 and 15, which run through central London, including historic districts such as Trafalgar Square, Tower Hill, and Piccadilly Circus.
