Transport for London contracted bus route inLondon ,England . This service is currently contracted toFirst London .History
The current route began on
21 January 1995 , as a replacement for the withdrawn section of route 224 between Wembley and North Wembley and then continuing on previously unserved roads to Harrow.For a brief time during 2005 there was problem at South Kenton Station, blocking Windmere Avenue, and so the 223 had to do a double run at Preston Road and run full length of Woodcock Hill, with a temporary route 523 replacing it between Windermere Avenue and Preston Road. This was withdrawn in 2006.
The 223 has always been operated by First London at the Alperton Bus garage initially using midibuses and now Dennis Dart / Marshall Capitals (DM's).
