Is this the most romantic bus in London?

Alice Ehrlich's meet-cute with her husband Elliot Hammer reads like one from Richard Curtis movie: a chance encounter on a London bus; some back-seat chit-chat about Columbia Road Flower Market and Sunday hangovers; a spur-of-the-moment running-through-the-airport-style decision to get off the bus and ask for his number, figuring she had nothing to lose.

The couple met ten years ago, in October 2013, on the number 17 bus from King's Cross to Archway — which just so happens to be exactly the same bus Rory O'Keefe met his now-wife Charlotte on 18 months later, in May 2015.
