List of bus routes in London
This is a list of Transport for London (TfL) contracted bus routes in London, England, as well as commercial services that enter the Greater London area (except coaches).
Bus services in London are operated by Abellio London, Arriva London, Go-Ahead London (Blue Triangle, Docklands Buses, London Central and London General), Metroline, RATP Dev Transit London (London Sovereign, London United and London Transit), Stagecoach London (East London, Selkent and Thameside), Sullivan Buses and Uno. TfL-sponsored operators run more than 500 services.
Non-TfL-sponsored operators include Arriva Herts & Essex, Arriva Southern Counties, Carousel Buses, Diamond South East, Go-Coach, First Beeline, Metrobus, Stagecoach South, Thames Valley Buses and Reading Buses.
Classification of route numbers
In Victorian times, passengers could recognise the owner and the route of an omnibus (Latin: "for everyone") only by its livery and its line name, with painted signs on the sides showing the two termini to indicate the route. Then, in 1906, George Samuel Dicks of the London Motor Omnibus Company decided that, as the line name 'Vanguard' had proved to be very popular, he would name all lines 'Vanguard' and number the company's five routes 1 through to 5. Other operators soon saw the advantage, in that a unique route number was easier for the travelling public to remember, and so the practice of using route numbers soon spread.[1]
Historic classification
Bus routes run by London Transport were grouped as follows.
The London Traffic Act 1924 imposed numbering known as the Bassom Scheme, named after Superintendent (later Chief Constable) Arthur Ernest Bassom of the Metropolitan Police who devised it. For many decades, variant and short workings used letter suffixes (e.g. "77B"). The numbers reflected the company that operated the route.
The numbering was revised in 1934 after London Transport was formed:
Route numbers | Type of service | |
---|---|---|
1–199 | "Central Area" red double-decker services. | |
200–289 | "Central Area" red single-decker services. | |
290–299 | "Central Area" night bus routes. | |
300–399 | "Country Area" north of the River Thames. | (Rural services were operated by London Country Bus Services after 1970).[2] |
400–499 | "Country Area" south of the River Thames. | |
500–699 | Trolleybuses. | |
701–799 | Green Line. | |
800–899 | "Country Area New Towns" routes. |
Current classification
Route numbers | Type of service |
---|---|
1–599 | Most local day routes, including 24-hour services. |
600–699 | School services, with the majority of them operating only one return journey per day. |
700–799 | Regional and national coach services, including Green Line. Also used for temporary TfL routes. |
800-899 | Regional and national coach services. |
900–999 | One mobility buses route within TfL, detailed below. |
N-prefixed routes | Night Bus routes. |
EL-prefixed routes | East London Transit routes. |
SL-prefixed routes | Superloop routes. |
Other letter-prefixed routes | Local day routes, including 24-hour services, with the letter denoting a key area the bus travels through. |

Route | Start | End | Operator | Notes |
---|---|---|---|---|
533[11][98] | Hammersmith bus station | Castelnau | London General | A temporary service replacing routes 33, 72, 209 and 485 due to the closure of Hammersmith Bridge.[99] |
549 | Loughton tube station | South Woodford tube station | Sullivan Buses[100] | Taken over by TfL on 30 August 2003. Frequency reduced from a bus every 67 minutes to a bus every 90 minutes in March 2022. No Sunday service.[101] |
600–699
Route numbers from 600 to 699 are used for school services, with the majority of them running one return journey on each weekday during peak times during school term time.[102]
900–999
Route numbers from 900 to 999 represent mobility buses; these mostly provide a once-a-week return journey to a local shopping centre from relatively low-density neighbourhoods where there is no alternative route in the main bus network. The number of mobility buses routes has declined over the past few years because low-floor and wheelchair-accessible buses run on all London Buses routes.
Route | Start | End | Operator | Notes |
---|---|---|---|---|
969 | Whitton | Roehampton Vale | Abellio London | Operates one return journey on Tuesdays and Fridays only.[109][110] |
Letter prefixes
Night only routes (N-prefixed)
Night Bus routes are often related to the day numerical equivalent, normally running the same route but with an extension at either end of the service. This is normally to provide a night service to destinations served by tube or train during the day.[123]
However, there are a few N-prefixed route numbers that have no relation to their daytime equivalents: the N5, N20, and N97 all operate in a different part of London to their respective day routes. Also, the N550 and N551 (which provide night service on parts of the DLR network), and the N271 (whose daytime service was withdrawn on 4 February 2023) have no corresponding daytime routes.[123]
There are also 24-hour routes, which run day and night but usually with a lower frequency during the night hours. The vast majority run the same route at all times. With the introduction of the Night Tube, some day routes have been extended to run during Friday and Saturday nights to serve the stations.
Non-TfL bus routes in Greater London
These bus routes are not contracted to TfL and are therefore not 'London Buses', all but three run from villages and towns outside Greater London to destinations within. They are painted in a colour chosen by the operator, so are not necessarily red like London Buses, and most of them do not accept Oyster cards. These routes are operated with a London Service Permit issued by TfL so they are recognised by TfL bus maps and appear on TfL bus stops.[124]
