The route 63 first commenced operation on
17 September 1919 betweenGospel Oak (Mansfield) andHonor Oak (Forest Hill Tavern) viaBlackfriars Bridge andElephant & Castle . By the end ofWorld War II it had been cut back to operate betweenKings Cross and Honor Oak. From15 September 1954 , the 63 was extended from Honor Oak to Crystal Palace as a replacement for theBritish Railways Crystal Palace Branch, which was closed at the same time. Apart from pre-war extension's northwards, as well as in the 1960s replacing withdrawntrolleybuses toHampstead Heath andParliament Hill Fields , the 63 has remained a very stable route. In 2003, the 1954 Crystal Palace extension was again withdrawn, being covered over that section by a related Route 363. The 63 has now returned to its 1945 routing.Current route
