For the last two years, my layout has had a display of classic buses on it. For this year, however, I'm planning to turn the display over mainly to fire engines, in a tribute to firefighters at Grenfell. For this display, I am thinking of adding an old London bus. Now, which of the current Oxford range most resemble the buses used in the Kensington area?

Routes 9, 10 and 11 (among others) all run in Kensington , all well illustrated in Google images under 'Kensington bus' showing Routemasters and modern buses on those routes over the years, if that helps.

Your only choices seem to be:

NNR003
NRM005

Both iconic in their own way and both showing details for route 9 which does pass through Kensington, albeit south of the Grenfell Tower area.
