- London Buses route 196 is a Transport for London contracted bus route in London, United Kingdom. The service is currently contracted to London General. The route is one of the longer routes in South London, connecting the borough of Croydon to Central London, quite similar to the 468 with which it runs parallel for most of its journey (The 468 runs from South Croydon to Elephant and Castle). Since 2006, when London General won the contract back, it has been serviced by brand new Alexander Dennis Enviro 400 and on the odd occasion Volvo B7TL/Wright Eclipse Gemini have been used, although some people thought that London General could have used this model on a more central route as the front window makes it perfect for sightseeing.

| - London Buses route 196 is a Transport for London contracted bus route in London, United Kingdom. The service is currently contracted to London General. The route is one of the longer routes in South London, connecting the borough of Croydon to Central London, quite similar to the 468 with which it runs parallel for most of its journey (The 468 runs from South Croydon to Elephant and Castle). Since 2006, when London General won the contract back, it has been serviced by brand new Alexander Dennis Enviro 400 and on the odd occasion Volvo B7TL/Wright Eclipse Gemini have been used, although some people thought that London General could have used this model on a more central route as the front window makes it perfect for sightseeing. The closest the 196 gets to the city/north of the river is on a short section next to Vauxhall Bridge. The route runs on main roads and usually in most parts uses the shortest and quickest way there, apart from a slight quirk at Stockwell where it goes straight outside the bus garage (owned by London General and the home of the 196). The garage is on a residential road, and getting a new double decker bus to go down there without wanting it to get scratched is quite a task!
