At Party Buses we know that the easiest way to relax on the night is to trust the small details — Professionalism matters. Every vehicle is chauffeur-driven, fully insured and serviced to a high standard, and our platform lets you compare prices, check availability and book in one place so you don’t have to hunt across pages or social media threads.
If you live in SE6 or are heading out from Catford Broadway, the feel of the area is familiar: pubs and clubs near Catford Broadway, the Broadway Theatre, quick runs up to Lewisham Shopping Centre or across to Ladywell Fields for daytime events. We cover nearby districts such as Ladywell, Lee, Lewisham, Bellingham and Crofton Park and regularly run routes into Greenwich and the O2 Arena — which is why our Local Catford Knowledge makes choosing the right vehicle so straightforward.
Whether it’s a birthday crawl, prom night, a wedding convoy or a hen and stag party, a party bus keeps everyone together. Common Occasions we book for Catford include race days, concerts at the O2, festival transfers and corporate nights out. Packages can be single one-way trips, round trips or multi-stop hires so the group can travel between pubs, clubs and hotels without losing momentum.
Our fleet runs from compact party vehicles to full-size coach conversions. Pick what fits the vibe and the guest list: from nimble minibuses for quick runs to full-on party coaches for the biggest nights.
The 12–16 seater limo buses are brilliant for medium-sized groups wanting a balance of comfort and atmosphere — roomy seating, good sound systems and a compact footprint for tighter streets around SE6.
If you’re planning bigger groups or want a dance floor and full lighting rig, the 20–24 seater party coaches bring club features on wheels: LED lighting, pro sound, bar areas and comfortable bench seating so everyone arrives ready to go.
| Vehicle type | Typical capacity | Common features | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| 12–16 seater limo bus | 12–16 | LED mood lighting, Bluetooth sound, bar area, comfy seating | Small to medium groups, proms, airport runs |
| 20–24 seater party coach | 20–24 | Dance space, advanced lighting, DJ inputs, full bar | Hen/stag parties, large wedding transfers, big nights out |

Imagine music pulsing through the cabin, lights changing colour as you laugh with friends — that moment when the taxi line disappears and the whole group arrives together. What it Feels Like to travel on a party bus is equal parts anticipation and convenience: you start the party on the way there and keep it going without splitting the group.
A few practical tips to get the most value: book early for peak dates, share the fare between friends, and consider booking a party bus for the outward journey and a minibus or MPV for the return to cut costs. Splitting a cast across two smaller vehicles can also be cheaper when availability is tight. For SEO-friendly terms you might be searching, we commonly hear phrases like party bus hire Catford, limo bus hire London, chauffeur-driven party bus, 16 seater party bus UK and luxury party bus with driver used by customers — we make those searches easy to fulfil.

When should you pick a party bus over other group options? A party bus keeps everyone together: compare that to a stretch limousine (stylish but cramped), a Hummer limo (novelty but limited seats), luxury minibuses (great for comfort and luggage) and MPVs (cost-effective for returns). Use the Comparisons to decide — choose a party bus when you want the group experience, on-board features and a louder, livelier journey between venues.
Capacities vary by vehicle: compact limo buses carry around 12–16 people, while large party coaches fit 20–24. Tell us your guest list and we’ll match you to the right vehicle for comfort and safety.
Yes — every hire we arrange is chauffeur-driven and covered by the operator’s insurance. Drivers are experienced, DBS-checked where relevant, and familiar with London routes and local event timings.
Book in advance for peak dates, split the fare across your group and consider a party bus only for the outward leg with a smaller return vehicle to save costs. Mid-week or daytime hires are often cheaper than weekend evenings.
Most bookings require a deposit to secure the date, with the balance due closer to the hire. Deposit amounts vary by operator and date so we’ll show you the terms when you compare options.
