List of bus routes in London

This is a list of Transport for London (TfL) contracted bus routes in London, England, as well as non-TfL bus routes that enter Greater London (except coaches).

TfL bus routes in London are operated by 7 operators. Those operators are: Arriva London, Go-Ahead London (London Central, London General, Docklands Buses and Blue Triangle), Metroline, First Bus London (London Sovereign, London United and London Transit), Stagecoach London (East London, Selkent, Thameside and Lea Interchange Bus Company), Transport UK London Bus and Uno.

Some non-TfL bus routes enter Greater London, and operate with a London Service Permit provided by TfL. Therefore, those routes are shown at TfL bus stops. Those non-TfL operators are: Arriva Herts & Essex, Carlone Limited, Carousel Buses, Diamond South East, Falcon Buses, First Berkshire & The Thames Valley, Go-Coach, Kent Country, Metrobus, NIBS Buses, Reading Buses, Red Eagle, Red Rose Travel, Reptons Coaches, Sullivan Buses, Thames Valley Buses, Uno and White Bus Services.

In Victorian times, people who took the bus would recognise the owner and the route of an omnibus (Latin for 'for all') 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 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]

All routes operate on all days of the week and in both directions unless stated.

これらのバス路線はロンドン交通局と契約しておらず、したがってロンドンバスではありません。ほとんどはグレーターロンドン外の村や町からグレーターロンドン内の目的地まで運行しています。これらのバスは運行会社が選んだ色で塗装されているため、ロンドンバスのように赤ではなく、オイスターカードは利用できません。これらの路線はTfLが発行するロンドン運行許可証に基づいて運行されているため、TfLのバス停に表示され、TfLのバス路線図で認識されます。^{[ 143 ]}

特に明記されていない限り、すべての路線は双方向で運行しています。
