On Saturday (February 1), Transport for London (TfL) will be making significant changes to bus services in south London, including the withdrawal of route 118.

Instead, a revised route 45 will take over much of its route, running between Camberwell Green and Morden.

As part of these changes, route 45 will be extended from Brixton Hill to Morden, following the same path that route 118 previously covered.

However, it will no longer run between Elephant & Castle and Camberwell Green, or between Brixton Hill and Clapham Park.
