Its particular design the open rear platform where passengers could hop on and off between stops, the curved front, the bold red livery was both a practical solution to London's crowded streets and an accidental masterpiece of mid-century industrial design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"standard-markdown grid-cols-1 grid [\u0026amp;_\u0026gt;_*]:min-w-0 gap-3\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe original Routemaster was officially retired from regular service in \u003cstrong\u003e2005\u003c\/strong\u003e a decision that provoked genuine public mourning.

Yes, Americans have a particular relationship with London  a combination of historical connection, cultural fascination and the specific glamour of a city that is both ancient and perpetually stylish. Yes, the red bus features in approximately every piece of London travel content ever produced. Yes, it appears on tea towels, mugs, tote bags and every airport souvenir shelf in the United Kingdom.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBut here's the thing: \u003cstrong\u003ethe clichés exist because the thing itself is genuinely beautiful\u003c\/strong\u003e.
