Selkent (an acronym of South East London & Kent) is a bus company operating in South London. It is a subsidiary of Stagecoach and operates services under contract to Transport for London. Selkent shares its headquarters with sister company East London at West Ham. ==History== Selkent began as an operating district of London Transport in the early 1980s. On 1 April 1989, London Buses was divided into 11 separate business units, one of which was Selkent.〔(Companies House extract company no 2328595 ) South East London & Kent Bus Company Limited〕 Selkent was the first London Buses subsidiary to completely cease operation of AEC Routemasters, in March 1992, when the Catford garage allocation on route 36B was converted to one-man-operated buses.〔Wharmby, Matthew and Rixon, Geoff, ''Routemaster Retrospective'' (Ian Allan Publishing, 2007). ISBN 978-0-7110-3155-5〕 In September 1994, Selkent was sold to Stagecoach and renamed Stagecoach Selkent. In November 2000, Stagecoach consolidated its London operations under the Stagecoach London brand. In August 2006, Stagecoach sold its London bus operations to Macquarie Bank. The new owner restored the Selkent name and logo.
