Bus — The London bus network has seen many improvements in recent years with new buses, more frequent services and improved accessibility. For those unsure about how to get around London via bus, the following web link can determine which route(s) you need to get from one place to another (by street name): https://www.tfl.gov.uk/modalpages/2605.aspx
London’s buses run throughout the night. Night bus services cover the period between the close of the Tube and the start of daytime bus services. In addition, many London bus routes run for 24 hours.
If you’re not familiar with the routes, head to Trafalgar Square (the hub for night buses) or check any bus-stop information board. As you’d expect, services are less frequent during the night. Night buses stop on request only: so you’ll need to indicate your stop clearly to the driver when boarding or alighting.
There is a flat fare throughout the bus network, £1.40 with a pre-pay Oyster card and £2.40 if you are paying by cash. Most routes in Central London require you to buy tickets before you board. Ticket machines selling single fares are located next to the main bus stops on these routes.
Bus passes are valid for the whole bus and tram network in London (unlike the Tube there are no fare zones). And with Oyster’s daily price cap system, the most you will be charged per day when you use Oyster to pay as you go on bus and tram services is £4.40 (adult fare).
