Bus Advertising Formatsin London

London offers a range of bus formats suited to different campaign objectives, locations and creative requirements.

Images below are for illustrative purposes only. They are not specific to one location.

  • Bus wrap advertising: a double-decker is wrapped in a green Snickers Ice Cream advert with Arabic lettering.

    Bus Wraps

    Bus Wraps in London are booked around the West End, Oxford Street and the Underground. We use them when the campaign needs that specific job: scale on a landmark face, or frequency on a route people already take.

    A bus wrap in London owns the route. The vehicle is seen along the road and again at every stop, which is a lot of repeat on a busy corridor.

    Bus Sides

    Bus side advertising in London is the network workhorse: long panels at eye level, strong at lights and stops, and easy to weight towards the districts you care about.

  • Bus rear advertising: the back of an orange double-decker carries a Pizzium advert with Garfield and a pizza, on a cobbled street with tram tracks, past a Fendi store.

    Bus Rears

    Daily repeat sightings build the recall that drives action, whether that's a showroom visit, a test drive or a brand switch.
