London Buses route 63 is a Transport for London contracted bus route in London, England. Running between King's Cross station and Honor Oak, it is operated by Transport UK London Bus.

## History

[edit]

On 15 September 1954, route 63 was extended from Honor Oak to Crystal Palace as a replacement for the British Railways branch line to Crystal Palace (High Level), which was closed at the same time.[1]

In 2003, route 63 was withdrawn between Honor Oak and Crystal Palace, replaced by route 363.[2]

On 13 November 2021, route 63 passed to Abellio London using 29 new BYD Alexander Dennis Enviro400EVs. These buses were specified with high-specification interiors, including skylights and large rear windows, wood-effect flooring, larger wheelchair and buggy spaces, leather seating with phone chargers built into the headrests, and onboard route displays as a pilot of TfL's 'Future Bus' project.[3][4][5]
