See that famous red double-decker London buses? These vehicles are inimitable, instantly recognizable, and capable of transporting us – in every sense of the word! – immediately in the streets of the English capital.
A practical, symbolic, and efficient means of transport, which for many users, used to spending hours and hours on vehicles to move from side to side, is a kind of second home. The couple we’re about to tell you about, meanwhile, decided that one of the famous red buses would truly become their home where they could live, eat, sleep and relax. With this idea in mind, Charlie and Luke decided that their “nest” would have wheels, and, spending a more than reasonable amount of money, they built a truly unique and original house.

No Rent, No Loan, No Condo Fees: When Charlie MacVicar , 26, and Luke Walker, 27, decided to move in together, they knew exactly what they wanted. Independence, above all, without forgetting originality. So instead of buying a traditional house, in 2017, they thought it was better to buy the old red bus from Go-Ahead London, for the modest sum of 2,900 euros.

A price that in London and the surrounding areas and beyond is a very small part of any apartment for sale. From that point on, it only took an additional 17,000 euros to achieve a truly incredible transformation.
