Buses have been used on the streets of London since 1829, when George Shillibeer started operating his horse drawn omnibus service from Paddington to the city. The London General Omnibus Company or LGOC was founded in 1855 to amalgamate and regulate the horse-drawn omnibus services then operating in London. LGOC began using motor omnibuses, in 1902, and manufactured them itself from 1909.
The last LGOC horse-drawn bus ran on 25 October 1911, although independent operators used them until 1914.
In 1912 the Underground Group, which at that time owned most of the London Underground, bought the LGOC. In 1933 the LGOC, along with the rest of the Underground Group, became part of the new London Passenger Transport Board. The name London General was replaced by London Transport, which became synonymous with the red London bus.
[...]
Until the 1950s, London tended to go its own way in terms of bus design, designing its own vehicles specifically for London use rather than using the bus manufacturers' general products used elsewhere in the UK. The last such bus specifically designed for London was the AEC Routemaster. Since the turn of the Millennium, there has been a shift to low-floor double-deck and articulated buses.

It seems like I've been commenting on a lot
of your photos lately, but there's a good
reason for that -- you have so many wonderful
ones! This shot is no exception.... it's
stunning, and I love the saturated colors.
