London Buses route 74 is a Transport for London contracted bus route in London, England.[1][2] Running between Baker Street station and Putney Exchange, it is operated by London General.

Proposed withdrawal

In June 2022, TfL launched a consultation on a range of bus cuts which included the proposed merger of route 74 and 430, but it would be shortened to South Kensington to reduce duplication with services 2 and 13.[3] With the merger, the affected portion from West Brompton, via Warwick Road, Creswell Gardens and Onslow Gardens would no longer run.[4] On 23 November 2022, it was announced that these changes would not be going ahead.[5]
