For a full set of official London Buses panel summary timetables in printable PDF format, please visit the Busmap site. Alternatively timetables for all routes, but in a mixture of formats, can be accessed by clicking the route numbers below.

The routes are divided up as follows:
Main daytime bus network - 1 50 100 150 200 250 300 350 401 507 A10 E1 K1 U1
Tram services
Night buses - N1 102 250
Mobility buses
School buses - 313 601 650
Non-TfL routes are amalgamated within the main route groups, but marked non-TfL. This refers to routes for which TfL is not responsible for marketing and ticketing, not the contractual position of the routes. In general TfL tickets are not accepted and fares may differ from those on other local bus services.

For a summary of frequencies and operating information about all routes see the details page.

If you want to find routes serving particular places, try using your browser's search webpage facility (ctrl+F typically), e.g. for 'Barkingside' (don't be too specific). Alternatively, visit London's Busroutes Homepage where you can find a proper index.

Route numbers written on a yellow background are normally operated using wheelchair-accessible buses (routes 15 has a supplementary operation of Heritage Routemasters over part of the route at certain times).

Route numbers written on a red background are normally operated using "New Bus for London" double deckers. Some of these carry a conductor at certain times. All doors may be used for both boarding and alighting.

Route numbers written on a blue background are normally operated using (wheelchair accessible) single deckers.

Those on green are operated by (wheelchair accessible) single deckers where both doors may be used for both boarding and alighting.

Notes written in green refer to deviations and diversions that, while long-term, are not intended to be permanent.

Traditional matrix timetables are available for the vast majority of routes, available either on this site or on other sites (see below). Thanks are due to those who have helped me directly with the supply and publication of timetable information.

Some of the timetables are in Portable Document Format, and can be recognised by a .pdf extension on the filenames. If you do not already have Acrobat Reader installed, click on the icon below.

Where timetables are available you can click on the route number in this list. In some cases you will need to visit other websites to get full information. Please note that no responsibility can be accepted for accuracy or currency of pages on other sites. Due to the continually changing nature of the web, it is possible that some pages might have moved or been removed. I will check the links periodically, but if you spot a missing page please let me know: robert @ londonbusroutes.net.

Unless stated otherwise, bus passes are valid in the appropriate zones, and Travelcards and LT passes are valid throughout Greater London. In some cases passes may also be valid on sections of route outside greater London – please check first. Free travel is available in the immediate vicinity of Heathrow Airport.

Long distance/limited-stop services which do not carry local traffic within London have been omitted. Minor route variations outwith Greater London are not generally shown.

For reasons of practicality, updates to this list may be carried out a few days before or after the actual date of service changes. Please check the changes page for the latest information on service changes.

900 series routes

A number of 900 series routes operate around London to plug gaps in the main service network, usually providing a once-a-week return service to local shopping centres.

For further information, go to www.notrog.plus.com/busroutes/900series.htm.

School buses

These normally provide morning journeys in the direction shown, with return journeys in the afternoon, during school term only. In a few cases there is a regular service over part of the route, which is described in the main route list. Although available to all passengers, timetables are designed in accordance with school requirements and services are liable to alteration or cancellation in accordance with school requirements.

A number of other routes have additional journeys at school times over the normal route; these are not included below.
