London Buses route 141 is a Transport for London contracted bus route in London, England. The service is contracted to Arriva London.

History

The 141 started operation on 8 November 1961 as a replacement for trolleybus route 641, which had run daily between Winchmore Hill (Green Dragon Lane) and Moorgate (Finsbury Square). The new 141 was further extended on Mondays to Fridays via London Wall to Ludgate Circus from where it replaced tram replacement route 179 to Grove Park via Elephant & Castle, Old Kent Road, New Cross, Brockley Rise, Stanstead Road, Catford and Downham. This was the first time that a bus service had been operated along the newly opened London Wall and its introduction was used by London Transport in publicity material to demonstrate the flexibility of the new diesel replacements against the "inflexible" trolleybuses.

At the same time a Saturday and Sunday route 141A was introduced between Finsbury Park Station and Grove Park via Highbury, Angel and Goswell Road to replace route 4 and route 179 on these days. The 141 also operated between Winchmore Hill and Moorgate on Saturdays and Sundays. The extended 141 also re-instated the link between Newington Green, Old Street and the Old Kent Road and New Cross areas which had been lost at the beginning of the Second World War when route 21 had been cut back from Newington Green to teminate "head on" with Trolleybus route 641 at Moorgate (Finsbury Square).

The 141 route was used for the introduction of environmentally friendly buses last year.
