Proposals

We’re proposing to make changes to routes 45, 59 and 118 between Elephant & Castle, Camberwell, Brixton, Clapham Park, Streatham and Morden. As shown in the map below, the proposal would include a merger of routes 45 and 118, and the 118 would no longer run. The proposals are explained in more detail, route-by-route, further down the page.

Route 45

Linear map showing the current and proposed bus route 45Click on the map for a larger version
Route 45 currently operates between Elephant & Castle and Clapham Park/Atkins Road.

We propose to operate the 45 between Denmark Hill/Camberwell Green and Morden.

Its start and end points in Camberwell are expected to be bus stop ‘R’ towards Camberwell Green, and bus stop ‘Q’ towards Denmark Hill. Both bus stops are near Butterfly Walk, and other shopping destinations in the area.

The proposed line of route for the 45 between Brixton Hill and Morden would be the same as current route 118. Route 45 would directly replace route 118.

Therefore, if we were to change route 45 as proposed it would no longer serve:

  • Bus stops between Denmark Hill/Camberwell Road and Elephant and Castle
  • Streatham Place bus stops ‘BP’ and ‘BQ’
  • Atkins Road bus stops ‘H’ and ‘E’ for Clapham Park
  • Poynders Road bus stop ‘V’

Bus stops between Brixton Hill and Clapham Park no longer served by route 45 would instead be served by route 59, if it were to change as proposed below.

Route 59


The 59 currently operates between Smithfield, St Bartholomew’s Hospital and Streatham Hill/Telford Avenue.

We propose to operate it between Smithfield, St Bartholomew’s Hospital and Clapham Park/Atkins Road.

The current line of route for the 59, between St Bartholomew’s Hospital and Brixton Hill would remain unchanged.

If we were to change route 59 as proposed it would no longer serve:

  • Bus stops between Streatham Hill/Christchurch Road and Streatham Hill/Telford Avenue

Route 59 would instead serve the following stops between Brixton Hill and Clapham Park, directly replacing route 45:

  • Streatham Place bus stops ‘BP’ and ‘BQ’
  • Atkins Road bus stops ‘H’ and ‘E’ for Clapham Park
  • Poynders Road bus stop ‘V’

Bus stops between Streatham Hill - Christchurch Road and Streatham Hill - Telford Avenue no longer served by the 59 would instead be served by route 45, if it were to be changed as proposed above.

Route 118

The 118 currently operates between Brixton Road/Police Station and Morden station.

We propose that route 118 would no longer run. It would be replaced in its entirety by changes to route 45, as described above.

This would create one route, the 45 (routes 45 and 118 combined), operating between Morden and Camberwell.
