Arriva London is a bus company operating services in Greater London. It is a subsidiary of Arriva and operates services under contract to Transport for London. It was formed in 1998 from a fusion of previously separate Arriva subsidiaries Grey-Green, Leaside Buses, Kentish Bus, London & Country and South London Transport. Operations are split between two registered companies, Arriva London North Limited and Arriva London South Limited.
==History==
The origins of Arriva London can be traced back to 1980 when the Cowie Group purchased the Grey-Green coach business in London.〔(The Arriva London Story ) Arriva London〕〔(History and growth ) Arriva〕〔(Leasing industry's Sir Tom Cowie dies ) ''Fleet News'' 2 February 2012〕 In February 1987, Grey-Green commenced operating bus routes in north and east London under contract to London Regional Transport.〔〔(LRT allocates 10 bus routes ) ''Commercial Motor'' 25 October 1986 page 22〕〔(In Brief ) ''Commercial Motor'' 17 November 1988 page 16〕〔(London Country North East loses three routes ) ''Commercial Motor'' 25 February 1988 page 15〕
Meanwhile, on 1 April 1989 London Buses was divided into 11 separate business units, two of which were Leaside Buses and South London Transport.〔(Companies House extract company no 2328559 ) Arriva London North Limited formerly Leaside Bus Company Limited〕〔(Companies House extract company no 2328467 ) Arriva London South Limited formerly South London Transport Limited〕 As part of the privatisation of London bus services, the Cowie Group purchased these business units in September 1994 and January 1995.〔(The Arriva London Story ) Arriva London 2012〕 Leaside Buses operated six depots in Clapton, Enfield, Palmers Green, Stamford Hill, Tottenham and Wood Green and South London Transport four in Brixton, Norwood, South Croydon and Thornton Heath.
On 1 August 1996, the Cowie Group purchased British Bus, which owned the Kentish Bus and London & Country businesses that also operated London bus services.〔(Cowie buys British Bus for £282m ) ''Herald Scotland'' 1 August 1996〕〔(Cowie Group plc and British Bus Group Limited: A report on the merger situation ) Competition Commission 31 October 1996〕 In November 1997, the Cowie Group was rebranded as Arriva.〔(Bamber Forsyth unites Cowie ) ''Design Week'' 23 October 1997〕 Shortly after, Grey-Green, Kentish Bus, Leaside Buses, London & Country and South London Transport were all brought together under the Arriva London brand.
