Loughton Station Bridge - route 167 towards Buckhurst Hill Snaresbrook Station - W12 and W14 Spring Grove Road - H28 Longmore Avenue, Barnet - 326, 383 Gospel Oak Station - C11 Looking at Google Maps there are no height restrictions at Snaresbrook. I have seen double deckers pass under the bridge on Central Line RRS work. The W12 does not run past Snaresbrook Station either, only the W14 does.

P5 - Bedford road. Vjaska how did you forget about this one 130/410 - norwood junction 455/599 - purley, old lodge lane S3 - Langley road, sutton Lol, I don't know how I missed that one - too many low bridges on that route. I also forgot about the Norwood Junction & Old Lodge Lane ones Others I've just thought of 170 - Lombard Road 314 - Elmstead Lane though a low height ALX400 & a Omnidekka could go under. Last time I rode the P5 end to end I counted about 5 or 6 low bridges along the route. Must be a record.

Yeah I noted that on the previous page. All in all, the P5 has: Loughborough Road, Coldharbour Lane, Bedford Road, 2 bridges on Thessaly Road & 3 bridges on Stewarts Road.

Slightly off topic but the lowest bridge in the UK is on Auchendavie Road in Kirkintilloch - it's 4'9'' and it even contains a sign warning pedestrians to mind the low bridge.
Is Mantle Road in Brockley, the lowest bridge in London?

Is Mantle Road in Brockley, the lowest bridge in London? I remember the bridge at Cambria Road, Loughborough Junction is quite low. It's pedestrian only most of the time, unless the gate thing is open. There are various low bridges in the South Croydon area. Selsdon Road- route 403 & 412 have to go round the alternative routing via Sussex Road to avoid the top deck getting sliced off!

Yeah, the Cambria Road bridge looks a little low - I remember walking up there to explore that road and walked under the bridge. As for the Sussex Road bridges, I was on a 403 that nearly drove under the 2nd bridge - thankfully, passengers alerted him just in time and he reversed back to the correct route

Just seen elsewhere that Coppermill Lane has a 5'0'' bridge which must be the lowest in London.
Not as low but there is a 7'9'' bridge on Lower Downs Road in Raynes Park

The file to end all speculation in this thread is attached. Am shocked on how far that list shows low bridges outside London. Furthest ones listed are Reading and Dover Sure does help as well, I know for sure the Gun Lane Strood and Forbes road Faversham ones set the warning off, and the one near Rochester Station. Looking at that list the farthest one listed looks like Yapton Road Barnham, west sussex (near Bognor Regis). And I know for sure London buses have worked that far on rail jobs, in fact they've worked further than there..
