London Buses route 57 is a Transport for London contracted bus route in London, England. Running between Clapham Park and Fairfield bus station, it is operated by Go-Ahead London subsidiary London General.
The 57 service, running from Victoria to Tooting Broadway, via Vauxhall, Stockwell, Lambeth Town Hall, Brixton & Streatham, was first introduced in July 1951, replacing London Tram routes 8 and 20. It took its present route in January 1964.[1]
In 2015, Go-Ahead London won the tender to run the service, taking over from London United on 2 July 2016.[2] In February 2023, the service frequency was reduced to every 12 minutes.[3]
