London Buses

You can plan your bus route online with www.tfl.gov.uk, I am always using this site, and i find it very relabel and it is defensively  the easiest way to plan your journey. London is huge city, and i think everybody needs to plan their journey, just to make sure that the plan is right.  

Night Buses in London

London never sleeps so buses run throughout the night. Night bus services cover the period between the close of theTube 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, go to Trafalgar Square (the hub for night buses) or check any bus-stop information board, and don't forget that buses come less frequently during the night. You'll need to indicate your stop clearly to the driver when boarding or alighting.

Buy Before You Board/Ticket Machines

Most routes in Central London require that you buy tickets before you board. Ticket machines selling single fares and daily bus passes are located next to the main bus stops on these routes. You'll need the exact money as the machines do not give change. Many newsagents sell bus passes and also have Oyster top-up facilities.
