March Muses Winston Bus Christmas Ornament

A festive tribute to the Windrush generation and the contribution of Black Caribbean communities to Britain. March Muses Winston Bus Christmas Ornament features a classic red London double-decker bus with Winston, a Black bus conductor, on board — bringing an important piece of Caribbean-British history to the Christmas tree.

Bright, nostalgic and full of character, Winston transforms an instantly recognisable symbol of London into a Christmas keepsake with a much bigger story behind it.

Why We Selected This

We selected Winston because this little red bus carries a story that reaches far beyond Christmas.

The London Routemaster is instantly recognisable, but placing a Black conductor at the heart of it creates a connection to the Caribbean men and women who became part of Britain’s transport workforce during the Windrush era.

For The Caribbean Corner, Winston is exactly the kind of piece we want to discover and share — something joyful enough to hang on the Christmas tree while opening the door to a story worth knowing.

How to Enjoy

Hang Winston on the Christmas tree as part of your festive decorations, bring him out each year as a keepsake, or give him to someone with a connection to London, the Caribbean or the Windrush story.

He also makes a thoughtful gift for anyone who loves decorations that carry a little history and meaning alongside the Christmas sparkle.

Caribbean Context

Following the Second World War, people from across the Caribbean travelled to Britain as part of what became known as the Windrush generation, building new lives while making lasting contributions to British society.

Transport was one of the industries in which Caribbean workers played an important role, including on London’s buses and railways.

With Winston standing aboard an iconic red London bus, this ornament celebrates that history and the Caribbean people who helped keep the city moving — connecting Christmas, migration, memory and the story of the Caribbean diaspora.
