London Buses route 474 is a Transport for London contracted bus route in London, United Kingdom. The service is currently contracted to Docklands Buses.

History

Route 474 replaced the section of the 69 to North Woolwich, and this had the distinction of being Blue Triangle's first mainstream London Transport route. On 3 November 2007, route 474 was converted into a 24-hour service and the operation was transferred to Docklands Buses. The 474 thus became Docklands Buses first double-deck route, followed by the 425 in July 2008.

The 474 operates from Manor Park Station, via East Ham, Beckton and Cyprus to North Woolwich, where the former 69 route is picked up via the industrial estates of Silvertown to Canning Town. It now also calls at London City Airport following the curtailment of route 69 beyond Canning Town. The number 474 itself probably derives from the 473, which runs parallel between North Woolwich and Silvertown along Albert Road, and maintains a direct link to Stratford.
