London Buses route 205 is a Transport for London contracted bus route in London, United Kingdom. The service is currently contracted to Metroline.

History

Route 205 was introduced as part of the planned bus improvements in preparation for the Congestion Charging Zone in 2003, replacing the former SL1 ("StationLink 1") service. The route connects Paddington, Marylebone, Euston, King's Cross and Liverpool Street Mainline stations, as well as many Underground stations following the northern part of the Circle Line.

It was extended from Whitechapel to Mile End Station on 16 June, 2007, and was also converted into 24-hour service at the same time.

Seven new Scania N230UD's will arrive in late Summer 2007 to enhance the route.
