Improved bus link makes it easier for South Londoners to get to Shoreditch 

It will now be easier for South Londoners to get to Shoreditch after a popular cross-river bus route increased its frequency.

The frequency on route 35, which runs between Clapham Junction and Shoreditch through Monument, has increased in the evening from four to five buses an hour between 7pm and 12.30am.

The same increase also applies to services on Sundays between 5pm and 12.30am.

The night service on this route continues to run throughout the week, with four buses an hour on Friday and Saturday nights.

The change will help those making the most of Shoreditch nightlife.

London Night Czar, Amy Lamé, said: “London’s life at night plays a vital role in our economic and social recovery and it’s fantastic that route 35 has increased in frequency, giving more opportunities for Londoners to get to and from evening and weekend shifts or make the most of an evening out.”

It will also make travel easier for Sunday day-trippers visiting attractions as well as customers who use the route to connect with national rail services and the Stansted Express at Liverpool Street railway station.

Geoff Hobbs, Transport for London’s (TfL) director of public transport planning, said: “We keep our bus network under constant review, which allows us to be agile and make changes that reflect the evolving ways customers use our services. 

“Route 35 is a vital cross-river bus link connecting thousands of people living south of the river with attractions in central London, and these new frequency changes are cutting waiting times at stops, making the bus an even more convenient, not to mention cost-effective, way to travel.”
