Designed by Tim Wykeham, the London Bus shelter is conceptualized as a new design icon for London. It is a simple and a practical form that can withstand the 24-hour use that is expected of a public structure.

Raising from the ground the shelter kinks outward to form a perch, then continues up and sweeps out to form the roof. A lighting strip runs up each end of the shelter highlighting the simple form and making it easy to spot when you are looking for one after dark.

Each section is 1000mm long and constructed of two aluminum sub-frames connected with an aluminum skin. Bus locations and waiting times, PA system and lighting are all powered by a solar collection system on the roof.

All wiring for the technology can be imbedded and ready for final installation of speakers, lighting and the solar collection system, which allows for quick and easy assembly as well as maintenance.
