Route 1 was one of the first motorbus routes to be introduced in London. It was in operation by November 1908. By the time the London Passenger Transport Board took over its operations in 1933, it operated from Willesden garage to Lewisham. In June 1956, the Willesden to Marylebone station section was replaced by route 176. [1]
Despite subsequent route changes, it continues to serve part of its original route, between Elephant & Castle and Aldwych. [2]

In November 2021 Transport for London launched a successful consultation with a view of merging routes 1 and 168 to form a continuous service between Hampstead Heath and Canada Water, as well as re-routing route 188 to serve its former terminus at Tottenham Court Road.
