Must admit in all the years I knew and used West Dulwich station I never considered the P4 as going anywhere near it - I guess it all depends on perceptions.  Indeed, although I'd probably get off the bus at Dulwich Picture Gallery and walk along Gallery Road instead of the stop at College Road by Dulwich College. Another one (at a stretch) is the P4 and 42 at North Dulwich Station to Herne Hill. A walk down Half Moon Lane. (Yes, I know the 37 goes there direct, but where's the fun in that!) Also the 202/363 for Sydenham Hill station. Get off at the Wells Park Road stop, then walk down Crescent Wood Road to the path that connects to the station on College Road. 450 is also a possibility, but not sure about the pedestrian connections from the Kingswood Estate? It's a short walk from the top of Kingswood Drive to Sydenham Hill Station  |

The 201 doesn't enter the are known as Brixton but it get's very close and it's only a 5 min walk from Herne Hill to the edge of Brixton which is where Brixton Water Lane runs along. The 137 & 417 runs along the boundary of the Brixton Hill area in not one but two different places - at the top of Brixton Hill at the A23/A205 junction and along King's Avenue. The 355 runs along the boundary along King's Avenue only. Interestingly, according to Google, when you type in the area "Brixton", my local road and a couple of roads away from where the 201 terminates, falls under "Brixton" despite having an "SE24" postcode. It's all about different boundaries, I guess. |

A lot of Google’s little info hubs have been frowned upon so I guess they aren’t really the most accurate source of information

I think they use the same criteria as Ryanair. |

For me, the end of Brixton in the south has always been Brixton Water Lane as the Tulse Hill begins just after as well as the Brixton Hill area - out of interest as a local, do you consider yourself where you live as part of Brixton or Herne Hill? |

I agree, I always have thought of myself as living as part of Herne Hill, however I usually say "Brixton" as a lot of people outside of the bus community have no idea where Herne Hill is. I think the boundary you've got is pretty right. I always have thought Brixton started From Effra Parade and Dalberg Road. Would you say you fall under Tulse Hill or Brixton giving you'll fall under SW2?

Interestingly, when I got a receipt from the M&S inside the hospital, it also stated it's address as "M&S Brixton", which puzzled me, as they have an M&S in central Brixton with the exact same store name. |

141 and 341 run close to Stoke Newington; it's a nice walk through Clissold Park from Green Lanes. In fact I usually prefer the 141 to the slow 67 if I have to get to Stokey from Wood Green.
209 gets pretty close to East Sheen at its Mortlake terminus, and there's a footbridge over the railway right next to the terminus.
210 skirts round Hampstead without actually serving the village (more's the pity).
232 manages to cut right through the Finchley area without serving any of the main centres (Finchley Central, East Finchley, North Finchley).
Could also include the 427/607 at Hayes - they do serve much of the general Hayes area but not the town centre.
H91 is a shortish walk from Hounslow town centre.
W3 does a fine job of twisting its way round most of Crouch End without serving the Broadway (although northbound buses do stop at one end of the shopping parade).
