Fitzrovia, Grafton Way - Existing bus stop for the 18, 30 and 205 before UCLH was converted to Two-Way became a stand temporarily and I believe is still there and unused since the 134 took over the 14 stand instead The bus stop was a bit further along and is now completely gone while the flag and markings for the bus stand are still there. I believe it is still used occasionally when routes are curtailed to Warren Street? |

I guess Northwick spark station would fit here too was the terminus for the H1 and 136 and I think possibly the 201 when it started but I stand to corrected on that presumably it’s available as a turn on the 114 and 183 still

Don't believe anyone's mentioned Newington Green yet! Unless I'm wrong but I don't think any buses terminate there now that the 21 no longer terminates there
Also Coney Green (on Hillingdon Hill) I believe buses used to terminate, now just a curtailment

There was a turning circle and terminus at Harefield West, at the junction of Park Lane and Belfry Avenue. This was used by occasional journeys on the Hillingdon Local Service 128 and may also have been used by London Country 309 before it was withdrawn south of Rickmansworth (the 128 replaced it). The U9 uses the turning circle today but only to turn round, buses take their stand time at Harefield Hospital.
The 309 also had a stand at Harefield South, I believe buses looped round via Priory Avenue and Truesdale Drive. This could also have been a curtailment point on the lengthy London Country 347/347A route between Hemel Hempstead and Uxbridge, which was one of the last in the Country area (and possibly the last in the north) to retain crew operation. I don't know if the 128 ever used this stand and I doubt that it is still available for today's 331 and U9.

In my neck of the woods there are various I can think of:
Mill Hill Green Man (I think originally for buses coming along Hale Lane and turning by the pub. Latterly the 52 from Deans Lane which turned on the roundabout and waited at Sefton Avenue - I think!)
Mill Hill Apex Corner (Buses terminated on the southside; went round the roundabout and picked up on the north side)
Mill Hill East Station (for the 240A and for that matter 382 more recently)
Mill Hill Bunns Lane (the 140 used to come up Lyndhurst Avenue and stop on the north side of Bunns Line before going back down Woodcroft Avenue; the opposite of the LOR today today; until the bus station was built)
and Mill Hill Station Road (also before the station was built for 240 and 113 etc at various times)
Burnt Oak Edgware Road (on the 251, which used to do some funny maneouvre around Barnfield Road which i can't quite recall now)
Burnt Oak Broadway (on 226/204 which used to terminate in a little turning area next to what was then the Registry office but is now some new flats I think)
Colindale Station had a very different arrangement to now of course with buses going into Booth Road and turning around there
and going further north, all kinds of terminii around Elstree, South Mimms etc. that I am sure others would remember better than me.

I am pretty sure the N26 used to terminate at Wadham Road off Crooked Billet roundabout and that terminus has not been used since.

I believe it is still used occasionally when routes are curtailed to Warren Street? Since the new blood and cancer hospital was under construction and recentely built, I believe the footpaths have widened and thus no space for a stand. This is why the 18s now stand on Euston Road heading west to Great Portland Street instead of Grafton Way |

Blackwall Tunnel (Delta Metal Works) - former 185 terminus at the top end of Ordnance Crescent in Greenwich until the early 1980s, a street largely obliterated when the Dome went up. You can see a fragment of disused road that I think contained the bus stand on a Google Maps satellite view, next to the roundabout at the top of Millennium Way.
Victoria Way, Charlton - used for works trips on several buses (51, 96, 161, maybe more) until probably the early 70s when it was superseded by Anchor & Hope Lane. Stop was in Troughton Road, though you wouldn’t guess now.

I was just thinking that the 18s stood at Euston Road because turning around at the intersection saves so much more time rather than going around UCH but that does make sense. There also doesn't seem to be much space in general to stand more than 1 or 2 buses at the stand (plus it would block a cycle lane). |

Winchmore Hill, Green Dragon Lane - used by the 123 many years ago and for shorts on the 29 and W2 after that. Would be a useful short turn for the 329 in times of disruption. Pretty sure the 125 terminates here. |

One I can think of - Richmond, Dee Road where the 270 and later 371 terminated. The stand was decommissioned after the 371 was extended to Sainsbury's.

Pretty sure the 125 terminates here. The 125 terminates at Station Road a little way down Green Lanes - there's a triangle at the junction of Ford's Grove and Green Lanes where buses stand. The junction of Green Lanes and Green Dragon Lane was remodelled some time ago (probably when the cycle route went in) and the bus turning circle was removed - the manoeuvre may have been seen as unsafe by that time. |

Another few -
Richmond Hill, route 235 (LT then Continental Pioneer)
Paddington Station concourse / 'Lawn', night inter-station route
Brockley Station, route 184

There used to be a stand in Forty Hill used by the 231 at The Goat until the route was extended to Carterhatch in 1973.
Others I can think of is the car park at Crews Hill station was once used to stand the old W10 route until being curtailed in the late 2000s after First Capital Connect extended the car park.

There was a time when route 113 had journeys terminating there. During Mon-Sat daytimes it ran in overlapping sections Oxford Circus - Mill Hill Apex Corner and Brent Cross Shopping Centre - Edgware. During the evenings & Sundays there was a through service from Oxford Circus to Edgware. IIRC there was also a Saturday shopping hours service from Oxford Circus to Brent Cross Shopping Cenre. |
