There are Two Bus Stands at Henrietta Place (Oxford Circus), I'm not very sure how often they are used and what Routes use them

Not sure if they're still there, but there's (or was) the bus stand at Limehouse Burdett Road (used by the old 395) and the bus stand at Crooked Billet in Walthamstow

Used to like Twickenham Albany stand on a rugby day. You'd see loads of turned 90b,202,270 & 281's together with scheduled 110's.
Also like Kew Green for the nice setting , and Whitton Church on 281 quite far off route

I think that would be used for the 238 turning at Green Street (coming from Barking). There is a separate stand one a side road just opposite the Boleyn which I think is used for buses turning at Upton Park Boleyn (5/115) or 58/104 heading southbound. Speaking of which, is the "Priory Road" turn still used now Upton Park Garage has closed?

There seems to be a few stands which are not marked out now but are still used, an example i have below on the 233s:
if we do a New Eltham turn on the 233s from Swanley, were supposed to turf everyone off the stop before the station and turn left onto Southwood Road and pull up on the old B13 bus stand just after the lights, the gap is still there but just has single yellow lines instead of a bus stand cage and is still marked up on our route guides as a stand then go via Fiveways and Green Lane to Footscray Road. But in reality it's different, we're told by ibus to turf everyone off at the station, then go NIS up to Southend Crescent spin round the roundabout then come back and take stand time if we have any at the Footscray Rugby Club stop.

Discovered a couple of extra stands in Kingston that I have never seen used
Birkenhead Avenue (towards Queen Elizabeth Road), behind Tiffin School (There are no school routes at this school) The Bittoms (which could only be reached by the one way East Lane off the High Street)
Both are off the normal line of routes so fairly well hidden

Vassall Road has two bus stands opposite each other at the Brixton Road end - I've seen out of service 333's & 345's stand there in the past. Also, the S reg DLA's had 'Brixton, Vassall Road' on the blinds for the 109 & 250 despite neither running that far down Brixton Road.

There is a bus stand on Bideford Avenue in Perivale near Perivale Tescos and I've seen a bus use it.

Yes, there are some minor variations in which a couple of drivers are ferried to a point rather than starting at a garage but yes all change over points.

I noticed that the St Leonard's stand on Tooting Bec Gardens stand, that was used by the 133 before it was rerouted to Streatham Station, has been removed.
