History

A bus station has served Walthamstow Central station since at least the 1970s.

In the early 2000s, the bus station was rebuilt, increasing the number of bus stands to accommodate all bus routes that serve the station and improving the interchange between the tube and rail stations at Walthamstow Central. Designed by RPS Group, it reopened in June 2004. In 2007, a subway under Selborne Road opened, linking the bus station with a new Victoria line ticket office.

In , the bus station was the third-busiest in the capital, with 2,500 buses passing through the station each day serving 16.8 million passengers a year.

As part of masterplanning for Walthamstow town centre, consultants proposed in 2011 that the bus station be demolished, and the area converted into a park. The stops would be relocated to streets nearby. This relocation was not proceeded with.
