Year Of The Bus Croydon Bus Sculptures

In a very similar vein to Penpusher’s Paddington bear collection, certain parts of London have been celebrating the year of the bus. My home town of Croydon is fortunate enough to have 17 sculptures on display, so here a a selection of the best ones.

That would make sense as the initial unpainted ‘boxes’ look identical.
