What are buses called in London? ›

London buses are commonly referred to as "red buses" or "double-decker buses". They are operated by Transport for London (TfL) and are a distinctive feature of the citys transport system.

TfL generally operates two door buses as this speeds boarding and alighting, particularly at busy stops. However due to physical constraints such as tight corners, some routes can only be operated with buses of less than 9m in length.
