Was about to say the R68 is the only route that crosses the river thames twice and stays in the same borough but Hampton Court Station is in Elmbridge.

Top 3 boroughs where routes don't exit the borough in question: Bromley (16) - 61, 138, 146, 246, 354, 358, R1, R2, R3, R4, R5, R6, R7, R8, R9, R10 Havering (15) - 165, 193, 248, 252, 256, 294, 346, 347, 365, 370, 372, 375, 496, 497 (seeing as it starts soon), 498 Croydon (12) - 64, 130, 198, 312, 359, 403, 404, 405, 412, 433, 434, 466 Hillingdon (12) - 278, 331, 350, A10, U1, U2, U3, U4, U5, U7, U9, U10 A few of the routes you list do leave their respective boroughs into counties outside London 246, R5 and R10 leaves Bromley and enters Kent 347, 370, 372, 375 and 498 leaves Havering and enters Essex 403, 404, 405, 434, 464 and 466 leaves Croydon and enters Surrey 331 leaves Hillingdon twice to enter Bucks and Herts The 331 holds the record for the number of crossings of the Greater London boundary - four. It also holds the unique distinctions of being the only TfL bus route to operate in three counties (Greater London, Hertfordshire and Buckinghamshire) and the only TfL bus route to operate into Buckinghamshire. There are a number of TfL routes that cross the Greater London boundary once and a few that cross it twice, but only one other route crosses it more than twice - the 166 crosses into Surrey at Chipstead Valley but re-enters Greater London briefly between Woodmansterne and Banstead, in the vicinity of the lavender farm. The 81 is the only TfL route to operate in the Ceremonial County of Berkshire. |

The N9 has 5 - City of Westminster, Kensington & Chelsea, Hammersmith & Fulham, Hounslow & Hillingdon - so doesn’t beat the N8’s 7 boroughs |

Nah, it’s just wrong full stop as there is a couple of other more minor errors such as the fact Cockfosters & Chadwell Heath straddle two boroughs but the Peckham & Camberwell areas are on another level as they are both fully within Southwark. |

The wriggly 341 manages to cover seven: Starting in Enfield at Angel Road, running through Haringey up to Manor House, then through Hackney to Newington Green, then through Islington down to Farringdon, then nicking the bottom corner of the City until Temple Bar, then Westminster until reaching Lambeth south of the river. Until it's rerouting it also ran into Camden, making eight!

On the night side, the N205 manages to give us an 8: Westminster, Camden, Islington, Hackney, the City, Tower Hamlets, Newham and Waltham Forest.

I don't think anyone has mentioned the oddity of Crystal Palace, where four London boroughs meet, with a fifth (Lewisham) a mere mile or so away. The roundabout at the end of Crystal Palace Parade used to be the boundary, I believe, so any route circling that roundabout would technically be in each of four boroughs, with the 122 and other routes adding Lewisham, the 122 and 202 Greenwich as well.

I thought that the boundary was the junction between Anerley Hill, Crystal Palace Parade, Westow Hill & Westow Street? That's the roundabout I believe he is referring to - before the one way system was introduced, there was a roundabout at that junction rather than traffic lights and it was how the 3 would turn around as there was no right turn from the bus station into Crystal Palace Parade. The 227 in those days stood in the same place as the 63 (then 363 later on), 122 & 202  The four boroughs (Bromley, Croydon, Lambeth & Southwark) used to meet at said roundabout with the Croydon/Lambeth boundary splitting the road between Crystal Palace & Leigham Court Road between the two boroughs but that was re-aligned roughly 10 or so years ago and Lambeth now has full control of Crown Dale & Crown Lane with Croydon having full control of Central Hill & Westow Hill |

Although all four boroughs did meet at the roundabout in essence, I don't think any part of the roundabout fell under Southwark itself - nowadays, I believe it's split between just Bromley & Croydon after the realigned boundary between Lambeth & Croydon meant Lambeth was pushed back slightly. |

I wish they'd drop the Angel Road name, as it's nowhere near Angel Road (It's Meridian Water if anything!)  |
