History

The first night bus was introduced in 1913. By 1920 there were two 'All Night Bus Services' in operation named the 94 and 94a running from 23:30 to 05:30. A few more services were introduced over the following decades, but all ceased during

were replaced in the late 1950s and 1960s. In 1978 London Transport listed 21 all-night bus routes. On many of these routes, "all-night" service meant a departure frequency of no more than one bus an hour. In April 1984, the number of routes was increased from 21 to 32. At this point the peak service required 80 buses; by August 2013 this had grown to 890. Originally the night bus network had its own fare structure, but with the introduction of the

Operation

Night bus routes are often related to the daytime route with the same number, often running the same route but with an extension at one or both ends. The usual purpose of the extension is to provide a night service to destinations served by tube or train during the day. However, there are a few N-prefixed route numbers that have no relation to the daytime route with the same number: the N5, N20 and N97 all operate in a different part of London from the respective day routes, and the N550 and N551 (which provide night service on parts of the

N21

Night Bus Route N21 is the night service for route 21 between Bank and Lewisham, and – until 10 October 2009 – for route 233 between Eltham and Foots Cray, for route 51 between Blackfen and Foots Cray and for route 321 between New Cross Gate and Eltham and Sidcup (police station) and Foots Cray. The N21 was introduced to provide a night service over the original route 21 between Central London and Sidcup (Foots Cray), but with a deviation via Avery Hill and Blackfen, to serve the University of Greenwich, which provides the route with steady patronage between there and Central London throughout the week. It originally operated from Victoria to Foots Cray on its current route, but on Friday and Saturday nights some journeys ran via New Eltham and Mottingham, terminating at Sidcup. In 1999 the route was restructured again: the extra weekend journeys via New Eltham were revised to operate from Eltham to Chislehurst via Mottingham and was extended to run every night (not just at weekends). The original service to Foots Cray via Blackfen and Sidcup remained unchanged. Changes to the frequency meant buses running every 30 minutes between Victoria and Eltham then every 60 minutes to Chislehurst and Foots Cray respectively. In 2002, the Chislehurst journeys were withdrawn and run through to Foots Cray instead, providing a 30-minute service over the whole route. The route was also shortened to start and terminate at Trafalgar Square as opposed to Victoria. On Friday and Saturday nights, demand was such that extras were introduced between Eltham High Street and Trafalgar Square, combined with the Foots Cray buses providing a 15-minute service over that section of route. With the withdrawal of the Chislehurst services, Mottingham and Chislehurst were without a night bus route until February 2008 when the N136 was introduced (replacing parts of the N36). The route was further amended on 10 October 2009, and withdrawn between Blackfen and Sidcup, instead running to Bexleyheath via Blendon, Bridgen and Old Bexley along the established day route 132. The night service to Sidcup was simultaneously replaced by a 24-hour service on route 321, restoring a night service to New Eltham after an absence of 10 years. On 27 May 2017, the route was transferred to London Central. ;Route Route N21 operates via these primary locations: *
