Beddington Farm Garage Sited on Beddington Farm Road. Walk past Beddington Cross Industrial Unit and the entrance is on the west side just after the car auction yard and before the Volvo depot. Closed (moth-balled) 31/3/2012 and subsequently sold in summer 2014 | Ray | Sat 03/11/2007, 15:11 |
Beddington Cross Garage Sited at the Beddington Road end of the Beddington Cross Industrial unit (you can walk through from the Beddington Farm Road end, just smile at the security guard!). Passed from Travel London to Abellio on 31/10/2009 | Ray | Sat 03/11/2007, 15:08 |
Battersea Garage Sited in the former railway yard off Silverthorne Road. Alight in Queenstown Road and walk up Silverthorne - the entrance is on the left with an aggregates depot the first 'yard'. Walk past this and go further into the site and QB is on the right. Passed from Travel London to Abellio 31/10/2009 | Ray | Sat 03/11/2007, 15:05 |
Battersea Garage Sited adjacent to the original Battersea garage (B) | Ray | Sat 03/11/2007, 15:02 |
Battersea Garage On the south side of Hester Road. Route 19 moved to BN on 27/11/2009 and the 'garage' closed then (a signing-on point was set up nearby) | Ray | Sat 03/11/2007, 15:02 |
Barking (Dagenham) Garage Sited on the southside of Ripple Road just to the east of Lodge Avenue/Ripple Road roundabout/flyover and to the west of Renwick Road (there is a run-in road from the easterly direction). The cars now 'live' in an annexe (ex warehouse) to the west of the garage run-in and use their own access drive. Took over from the garage on Manchester Way, Dagenham in 1992 | Ray | Sat 03/11/2007, 15:00 |
Ash Grove Garage See AG for details. Vacated by Arriva 14/11/2009 when route 38 transferred to CT but put into use again 24/4/2010 with route 393. Subsequently the 78, 168 and 254 followed | Ray | Sat 03/11/2007, 14:56 |
Ash Grove Garage See AG | Ray | Sat 03/11/2007, 14:56 |
Ash Grove Garage AG closed by London Buses in 1991 but is still owned by them. Subsequently used by Kentish Bus (1994-1997) East Thames Buses (2000-2005) and then Arriva London (as a base for it's Citaro Artics to 13/11/2009) and is gaining further routes. Also occupied currently by Hackney Community Transport and has been used as a store by the LT Museum. Sited beyond the railway bridge in Ash Grove, Cambridge Heath | Ray | Wed 31/10/2007, 20:45 |
Carshalton (Sutton) Garage Sited on Westmead Road (and still extant) it operated trolleybuses from 8/12/1935 to 3/3/1959. The point inspector's phone outside was MELville 1532. | Ray | Wed 31/10/2007, 20:40 |
Hemel Hempstead Garage The LT garage was sited on London Road, Two Waters (Hemel Hempstead 4041). The enquiry office in Waterhouse Street was Hemel Hempstead 5569. The replacement Arriva garage is on Whiteleaf Road | Ray | Wed 31/10/2007, 20:38 |

Ilford Trolleybus Depot Sited on Ley Street by Perth Road and opened in 1903 by Ilford Corporation Tramways it converted to trolleybuses 6/2/1938 and closed 18/8/1959 and it was still extant until 6/2014 when demolished. | Ray | Wed 31/10/2007, 20:35 |
Harrow Weald Garage Sited at 467 High Road (01 427 3656) and opened in 1930 had lowbridge buses for a time. | Ray | Wed 31/10/2007, 20:33 |
Wembley (Fourth Way) Garage Possibly not! Still a van on site on 7th October while over at the CELF finishing work and fitting out was still taking place. | Ray | Tue 09/10/2007, 19:26 |
Parsons Green Works The narrow gauge rail lines are still there! | Kim Rennie | Wed 19/09/2007, 16:34 |
Wembley (Fourth Way) Garage Presumably closed by 4th September 2007 (it was locked up on the afternoon of 1st) and moved to the new CELF. www.metroline.co.uk/news/20070904.html Note: Edited by Ray, 08/09/07, 15:51. | Ray | Sat 08/09/2007, 15:51 |
Parsons Green Works This was the major building department base and head office in LT days. On my first visit in 1959 I chatted with a man who was a shunter - the narrowness and length of the yard necessitating that vehicles were parked correctly to enable them to leave the next day. Several of us later spent happy late afternoons waiting as ''W'' and ''J'' lorries returned, and empty Leyland tippers rattled down the road. The imagination was always fired as to where they'd been and what they had been doing that day! The works was renown for being one of the earliest manufacturers of moulded concrete parts. These included bus stops, cable posts and station platform parts, and there was a narrow gauge railway track on which these were pushed out of the workshop on trucks by hand. Today there are a number of small business units on the site, but much of the original remains as in LT days - including the toilets I used when visiting a year ago! Well worth a nostalgic visit before the innevitable developers take over. Clive G | Clive G | Wed 05/09/2007, 11:57 |
Thornton Heath Garage This was the docking garage for the Croydon Food Production Centre, and so most of the catering vans were dealt with and often garaged here. A 1963 list shows that only 1266F, was not under Thornton Heath care, and that was garaged at Parsons Green and docked at Riverside. Clive | Clive G | Wed 05/09/2007, 11:25 |
Riverside (Hammersmith) Garage From 1959 this was the major docking base for service vehicles from Lillie Bridge, Parsons Green, and Effra Road Ticket Machine Works, as well as a few other west London locations. Clive | Clive G | Wed 05/09/2007, 11:16 |
Putney Bridge Garage Judging from the number of photos of service vehicles parked in the yard at this garage I would guess that it was responsible for docking a large proportion of the fleet. The proximity to Chiswick, Parsons Green and Lillie Bridge would make this an ideal location. Riverside was certainly the major docking location in 1959, then some years later the work was moved to Stockwell. Clive | Clive G | Wed 05/09/2007, 11:01 |
Rye Lane PW Depot Sited on Bellenden Road, it closed and moved (mainly) to a yard on Bowles Road adjacent to Old Kent Road (P) to permit the building of Rye Lane bus garage (RL). | Ray | Tue 04/09/2007, 20:58 |
Plumstead Garage Sited on Pettman Crescent (inside the large 'roundabout' off Plumstead Road) The mostly disused office block stands on Plumstead Road but buses enter at the rear. Walk via Pettman Crescent or Griffin Manorway - this being the nearest to the station. | Ray | Tue 04/09/2007, 20:56 |
Penhall Road, Woolwich Penhall Road was moved slightly to the right after the Tramatorium closed. The original entrance to the road still exists, leading into a warehouse. I believe some of the 'storage' rails were ex railway rather than tram. | Ray | Tue 04/09/2007, 20:51 |
Lea Valley Garage Sited near the end of Leeside Road (on the right), the land was compulsorily acquired and the garage closed after traffic on 28th February 2014 | Ray | Tue 04/09/2007, 20:46 |
Lagoon Road Garage Not a running shed - it housed a few training buses and service vehicles. Lagoon Road is on Cray Avenue and seemed to be a stores/repairs facility. The yard was on the far right Unit 1A) as you go down Lagoon Road. Parking spaces existed (for presumably staff's cars) on the frontage to Cray Avenue. It was closed 11/1/2014 | Ray | Tue 04/09/2007, 20:45 |
Kingston Sub-station Closed on 9/5/1962, sited on London Road and, I believe, still (part) extant. | Ray | Tue 04/09/2007, 20:42 |
Harlow Garage The LT garage was on Fourth Avenue and was a smaller layout of (say) NX with the docking area inside the main shed with run in/out either side. Harlow 21971. | Ray | Tue 04/09/2007, 20:32 |
Hammersmith Bus Station The original 'bus station' was on the west side of Butterwick, but it was just a side road really separated from Butterwick itself by bus stops/shelters. A new bus station was built above the station with entrances on Queen Charlotte Street and Hammersmith Broadway. A 'lower' bus station (mainly for routes which terminated at Hammersmith H&C) was opened on the corner of the Broadway and Butterwick. | Ray | Tue 04/09/2007, 20:29 |
Hainault Depot 01-500 2585, the Depot is on Thurlow Gardens, off New North Road (opposite the station) | Ray | Tue 04/09/2007, 20:25 |
Hackney (Waterden Road) Garage Sited on Waterden Road, Stratford but vacated 14/12/2007 to vanish under the Olympic Park. | Ray | Tue 04/09/2007, 20:23 |
Guildford Garage The LT garage on Leas Road (Guildford 2137). Distance wise it was just enough time to change the rear blind on an RP (715) running from the bus station. Last operated by Arriva it closed after traffic on 17th December 2021 | Ray | Tue 04/09/2007, 20:22 |
Greenford Garage Part of the London Borough of Ealing yard on Greenford Road. | Ray | Tue 04/09/2007, 20:21 |
Golders Green Station To the left of the station exit in the corner of the bus station is a small yard where the odd van can be found (usually head first). | Ray | Tue 04/09/2007, 20:19 |
Golders Green Depot Currently managed by Alsthom I believe, it is sited north of the station so you need to exit, bear right to Finchley Road and cross under the line to the (gated) entrance road. | Ray | Tue 04/09/2007, 20:17 |
Golders Green Bus Station The main part is sited outside the station, but a smaller part used by Arriva can be found to the north (other side of the shops/cafe/LBSL offices to your right) on Finchley Road. A van can be found in the Signals Yard in the corner of the bus station | Ray | Tue 04/09/2007, 20:16 |
Fulwell Garage The west end of Fulwell Depot, on Wellington Road. Trolleybuses were operated from 16/5/1931 to 8/5/1962. The offices have been rebuilt but the shed and works are largely untouched, although there is now a docking area in what was the 'works'. The Garage was 01-977 5416 in LT days. Out of the station bear right on the footbridge, then walk through Wellington Gardens. Operated by London United Busways then Transdev until it passed to RATP DEV UK Limited t/a London United 3/3/2011 Note: Edited by Ray, 25/03/11, 17:22. | Ray | Tue 04/09/2007, 20:12 |
Flagstaff House, Weybridge 2063F and 2064F were converted from FS buses to ferry staff to this training centre. | Ray | Tue 04/09/2007, 20:05 |
Finsbury Park Bus Station In two parts, Station Place (to the south side) and Wells Terrace (to the north side) of the station. Both have SV's, the majority at the former. | Ray | Tue 04/09/2007, 20:03 |
Finchley Central Station Turn right out of station then right into car park. | Ray | Tue 04/09/2007, 20:01 |
Epsom Garage Sited on Roy Richmond Way (formerly part of Blenheim Road), off Longmead Road (bus 418). Trains to Ewell West (Zone 6) then right out of station to Longmead Road and turn left. Roy Richmond Way is on the left (10 mins). Or from Epsom Town Station (outside Travelcard availability) via Waterloo Road, Chase Road, left to Hook Road and right up Longmead Road (20 mins). Garage passed to RATP in April 2012 and bus operations were directed by them from 26/6/2017. Epsom 'Coaches' closed first and on 2/7/2021 the final buses operated as Quality Line transferred and the garage closed. | Ray | Tue 04/09/2007, 20:01 |
Edmonton Garage As the photos show you need a swimming costume to get there. Either cross over Chalk Bridge (near to the site of former LV garage) to get to the east side of the River Lee and you'll be at EC or come down the towpath (east side) from Lea Valley Viaduct. Ferry vehicles go in all directions so, if lost, wait at the top of the towpath and follow one down. Good fishing if you get bored waiting! Closed (moth-balled) 24/3/2012 then used for storage until re-opened on 1/3/2014 (on closure of LV) Note: Edited by Ray, 23/01/14, 22:18. | Ray | Tue 04/09/2007, 19:56 |
Dunton Green Garage I believe the Green Line Social Club still exists (unlike the garage - Dunton Green 315) on London Road. Note: Edited by Ray, 04/09/07, 19:51. | Ray | Tue 04/09/2007, 19:51 |
Docklands Light Railway The original depot is sited next to Poplar DLR station on Castor Lane. A second depot is at Beckton There is also at least one yard, at Greenwich. Currently part of the TfL empire but contracted out. | Ray | Tue 04/09/2007, 19:49 |
Croydon (Beddington Lane) Garage Sited on Beddington Lane, just south of BC and almost opposite MC. Under control of London General from 1/4/2014 | Ray | Tue 04/09/2007, 19:47 |
Deptford Whart PW Depot Sited alongside Deptford Creek. the site is now occupied by Bookers Cash & Carry on Greenwich High Road. | Ray | Tue 04/09/2007, 19:44 |
Elephant & Castle Station I am pretty sure that these are no longer SV locations as such. You may see vehicles parked up whilst working, especially at night, but there are no regular parking spaces. | Thomas Young | Mon 03/09/2007, 23:56 |
Lillie Bridge Depot You can also see the railway shed from West Cromwell Road but these appear little used recently. The south entrance to Lillie Bridge is actually an exit, and is right on the opposite side of the exhibition centre. Next to the Empress State Building (ah, police again), there is a bus turning point, and a gated roadway dissappearing under the exhibition centre. This is busy at night and it can be fun watching them virtually queuing up to get out. Finally, accessed from here is a small car park alongside the West London line. May be visible from buses on Lillie Road/Old Brompton Road, or trains between West Brompton and Kensington Olympia. The best way to see Lillie Bridge is using Google Maps or Local Live! | Thomas Young | Mon 03/09/2007, 23:54 |
Lillie Bridge Depot Another tricky location. Turn left outside West Kensington Station, then first left onto Beaumont Avenue. There is a road entrance into Lillie Bridge at the end. But also look left to see the low level yard next to the platform at West Ken (good for 3-4 SVs). Of the main Lillie Bridge, many SVs will be visible and some can be IDd if you have lens. How far along the access road you venture depends on how many staff are around. Alternatively, turn right from the station, then first right onto West Cromwell Road (A4). This rises and turns away but many SVs will be glimpsable, particularly in the gaps beyond the monolith that is thingy house (forgot the name, big cream building that totally ruins the view). Again, binoculars or zoom required to ID. | Thomas Young | Mon 03/09/2007, 23:50 |
Earl's Court Empress Place is the turning point for buses on route 190 and 430. However, by night it was busy with SVs as they used this to exit Lillie Bridge. | Thomas Young | Mon 03/09/2007, 23:45 |
Harrow-on-the-Hill Station This code was introduced to distinguish the south side of the station from the bus station. Usually parked here is an LUL duty manager type car (currently 6227F). There is also a small staff car park to the right of the stations steps (as you come down), with some sort of power supply building beyond. SVs have also been seen here sometimes, or in the public car park towards the eastern end of the station. | Thomas Young | Mon 03/09/2007, 23:42 |
Edgware Garage A good (elevated) view into the yard and garage can be had from the back of the shopping centre car park. | Thomas Young | Mon 03/09/2007, 23:39 |
Edgware Garage A good (elevated) view into the yard and garage can be had from the back of the shopping centre car park. | Thomas Young | Mon 03/09/2007, 23:39 |
Clapham Common Southside This is between Elms Road (where I used to live) and St Gerards Close, and it looks like a big old house. It had a side alley leading through to some large gates. As a kid I figured there was a lift down to the Northern Line here! Who knows. Only SV I remember seeing there was one of those light blue Bedford HAs. Since converted for residential use. | Thomas Young | Mon 03/09/2007, 23:38 |
Euston, Cobourg Street Easy to miss, especially with its deceptive name. There is a gated entrance on Cobourg Street but never seen anything there. The main entrance is on Euston Street, and one or two car SVs are often parked on the pavement in front. If you come from Euston station, leave the concourse at the Western end, cross Melton Street and Euston Street is straight on. Location is on right on second block. | Thomas Young | Mon 03/09/2007, 23:35 |
Bexleyheath Garage What I like about BX is its openness. No fences, almost fully open front. Only the yard at the rear is not really visible. Having said that, the local van does seem to often be parked back there! | Thomas Young | Mon 03/09/2007, 23:32 |
Barking (Wakering Road) A tiny yard and buildings alongside the station but accessed from Wakering Road. From Station, turn left, then first left. Yard is beyond car park on left. | Thomas Young | Mon 03/09/2007, 23:30 |
Acton Works On foot, turn right outside Acton Town Station, then right again onto Bollo Lane. You will pass Smallbills (a commercial garage that often does minor SV work) and Bollo House. This is higher than road level but you may see something parked there. Frank Pick house is visible but no SVs, and the lorry yard is largely hidden behind trees. However, before the level crossings you come to the staff car park, which often contains a few car SVs. Double fence not good for photography though. If visiting during the week, Bollo Lane is usually fairly busy with SVs coming and going. | Thomas Young | Mon 03/09/2007, 23:28 |
Acton Works Although much is hidden from view, there is lots to see at Acton. Taking the train from Chiswick Park to Acton Town, you will catch glimpses of parts of the works on the left. SVs will be visible but the only ones close enough to ID would be any on the stub road that rises to track level right at the south end of the complex. The right hand side is much better. After Bollo House and Frank Pick House (each with a handful of small vans and cars), you have the lorry yard, which usually has most of the larger vehicles in it. You may need to make a few passes (or take a camera with a fast burst mode) to ID all the vehicles! The staff car park is also visible but at a lower level. | Thomas Young | Mon 03/09/2007, 23:25 |
Victoria, Eccleston Place This location has a fair sized yard but it is surrounded by buildings and the only access is via the gated alley seen in the pics, so vehicles can only be seen when leaving or arriving. Note that Eccleston Place is two-way at this point! | Thomas Young | Mon 03/09/2007, 23:22 |
Wood Green Garage I didn't know there was a rear entrance (on Watsons Road) until recently, but this does seem to be where any vans here will be. | Thomas Young | Mon 03/09/2007, 23:18 |
Victoria Coach Station Basement The best place to see the SVs is on the ramp next to the coach entrance (off Semley Place). There is a footpath and shelter alongside from which you can look down onto the ramp. Beware that police vehicles also use the underground car park so it is not recommended that you go onto the ramp. There is also a large police station over the road! SVs can also be found sometimes parked at the opposite side of the coach entrance (by the LBSL back door), or right round at the northern end, near where the coaches exit onto Ebury Street. There have also been reports of SVs parked in the Semley Place NCP car park above. | Thomas Young | Mon 03/09/2007, 23:16 |
Neasden Depot There are three places at Neasden which can have SVs. A small yard alongside the station often has a pair of vans, and can be seen from the platforms, or from the footpath leading to Brendon Avenue. The main part of the depot has a long, thin yard along most of its length, including the old emergency vehicle shed. One or two vehicles are usually here and can be seen from passing trains, or (with binoculars or long zoom) from Great Central Way. Finally there is a yard at the end of Quainton Street (off Blackbird Hill) which had two vans when we visited on Saturday. Beware that there is a (manned?) security gate here though. | Thomas Young | Mon 03/09/2007, 23:12 |
Wembley Park Station Exit Wembley Park, bear right then right again down Brook Avenue, beyond the public car park are the traincrew offices. Other vehicles can be found to the other side of the station parked just behind the Police offices in Bridge Road. | Ray | Sat 25/08/2007, 13:27 |
Wembley Olympic Way Across Bridge Road (outside the station) Olympic Way heads to the Stadium. The first building on the left after North End Road (a dead-end street immediately left and down some steps) off Bridge Street was the LBSL office area. Vehicles could be found anywhere in the car park thereunder. The base was split between 14 Victory Industrial Estate, Isleworth (LBSL cars) and Uxbridge station car park (LBBI vans) | Ray | Sat 25/08/2007, 13:25 |
Wembley (Fourth Way) Garage Sited on Fourth Way - exit Wembley Park station crossing Bridge Road (ie to Olympic Way). Head immediately left down North End Road,keeping left and possibly passing some parked LBSL vans to your right. Then cut through an industrial estate (look for the bollards blocking the road). Keep to the left when through the estate and you'll be in Fourth Way. The garage was just up the road on the left, being a repair shed for Metroline with a van or two often seen there. | Ray | Sat 25/08/2007, 13:22 |
Waterloo Depot The depot entrance is under the arches at the south end of the Waterloo Road entrance to the main line station. Another way in is via Launcelot Street, off Lower Marsh. | Ray | Sat 25/08/2007, 13:16 |
Waterden Road Garage Sited at the north end of Waterden Road. Closed 29/12/2007 for demolition to make the Olympic Park. Vehicles passed to RM (Rainham) until 16/5/2008 then to new WH. | Ray | Sat 25/08/2007, 13:14 |
Victoria, Eccleston Place 25 Eccleston Place. | Ray | Sat 25/08/2007, 13:14 |
Victoria Basement Garage The 'basement' parking area below GM | Ray | Sat 25/08/2007, 13:13 |

Upminster Depot Sited on Front Lane (Upminster 24398). | Ray | Sat 25/08/2007, 13:12 |
Turnpike Lane Bus Station Up the stairs from the station and turn right. The layout has changed over the years. | Ray | Sat 25/08/2007, 13:12 |
Tower Hill Station Tower Hill station on Trinity Place off Trinity Square opened in 1967 replacing the former Tower Hill station (originally 'Mark Lane') on Byward Street. | Ray | Sat 25/08/2007, 13:10 |
Tottenham Garage Extended over the years it is sited on Philip Lane, next to the Swan PH. 01-808 2651. Cars are to be found in the old shed, the numbers have reduced over the years (due to the loss of routes/bendy-buses). Note: Edited by Ray, 16/02/12, 18:15. | Ray | Sat 25/08/2007, 13:03 |
Thornton Heath Garage Sited at 719 London Road, the garage entrance is in Whitehall Road. 01-684 3835. The Croydon Corporation Tramways tram depot was originally opened 10/1879 and closed 31/12/1949 for demolition and re-building as the current bus garage which opened 18/4/1951 | Ray | Sat 25/08/2007, 12:59 |
Sutton Garage Sited on Bushey Lane at the end of Bushey Road. 01-644 8811. | Ray | Sat 25/08/2007, 12:58 |
Streatham Garage Rebuilt in the mid-eighties on the same site at 392 High Road (01-769 2361). It closed 13/3/1992 and became a go kart centre; the new building was extant to Jan 2012 when work commenced to replace it. The original shed housed 'Ole Bill' (B43) after the closure of P, before it went to the Imperial War Museum | Ray | Sat 25/08/2007, 12:57 |
Stratford Bus Station Outside the station. Vans can also be seen from the Jubilee line concourse (through the fence) outside the train crew offices (Stratford West) known now fully open as 'Gibbins Road'. They were also to be seen in a compound beyond the taxi rank (behind the former position of the old steam engine and tunnel to Stratford BR Steam Sheds) with the BT Police vehicles 'Stratford East' which has a few contractor's vehicles therein, see photo 4346. | Ray | Sat 25/08/2007, 12:55 |
Stratford Garage Sited at the south end of Waterden Road (Carpenters Road end). Opened 26/9/1992 Closed 23/2/2008 to disappear under the Olympic Park. Vehicles to (new) WH Note: Edited by Ray, 04/06/10, 21:14. | Ray | Sat 25/08/2007, 12:51 |
Stonebridge Park Garage Sited on Harrow Road (now Brentfield) opposite Sunny Crescent (01-965 1288). The offices and most of the shed remain. | Ray | Sat 25/08/2007, 12:49 |
Stockwell Garage Now a listed structure, sited in Binfield Road (01-622 3418). Most of the gates are in Lansdowne Way. | Ray | Sat 25/08/2007, 12:48 |

Stanmore Station At the end of the line, publicity vans were sited in the yard outside the station on the left (now a car park). These days vans can be found in the car park or, currently, on the right on exiting in the yard where the '3rd platform' yard is. Note: Edited by Ray, 17/05/09, 20:38. | Ray | Sat 25/08/2007, 12:45 |
Stamford Hill Garage Sited on Rookwood Road (01-800 5418). It has been closed and re-opened a number of times but is currently mothballed (2021) | Ray | Sat 25/08/2007, 12:45 |
Silvertown Garage Sited on Factory Road. There was a footbridge across the former North Woolwich line which led virtually to the entrance. Now the Crossrail project has taken the trackbed so access is constantly changing from one end of Factory Road to the other (or part way).
