This is a miniature version of the original, cushion sized London Bus; this one fits in the palm of your hand and can also be decorated in a way you choose. I designed this version in May 2022, so I chose to decorate it with references to Queen Elizabeth’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations. You could embroider it with a name and date of birth instead
