The event showcasing the, which have been painted and adorned by well-known artists, will round off TfL's Year of the Bus campaign, in partnership with London Transport Museum and the capital’s bus operators, funded entirely by sponsorship.
Since last October, the scaled-down buses went on display at four walking trails across the capital.
Members of the public are now invited to view all the artworks in one place as part of a free family fun weekend, which will include interactive art and music workshops for children and families and face painting. Visitors at the event will also have the opportunity to meet some of the artists and see one of the final bus sculptures being painted live over the weekend.
A new Routemaster bus and the Year of the Bus mobile exhibition, which tells the story of the London bus, will also be on display at the event, while the restored war-time ‘Battle Bus’, back from its tour of the battlefields of France and Belgium, will also be available for attendees to see.
Live entertainment from licensed buskers from the London Underground Busking Scheme will also feature during the weekend, and visitors are being encouraged to ascend the UK’s tallest sculpture – the ArcelorMittal Orbit – to get a bird’s-eye view of the 60 bus sculptures and the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park.
Leon Daniels, managing director for surface transport at TfL, said: "The Year of the Bus sculptures have surprised and delighted Londoners and visitors to the capital for the past couple of months. This free event will offer a fantastic last opportunity for anyone who didn’t manage to spot all 60 sculptures to see them all in one place before they are auctioned to raise funds for three admirable charities."
David Goldstone, chief executive of the London Legacy Development Corporation, added: "I can’t think of a better place to showcase one of the capital’s most iconic objects – the London bus – than Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park
"The 60 sculptures will look fantastic set among the unique venues and landscaped grounds of the Park. And we are sure the charity auction will be a huge success."
The sculptures, which were delivered with creative events company Wild in Art, will be auctioned in the spring to raise funds for three charities - Kids Company, Transaid and London Transport Museum.
