Times are TfL's scheduled first departures from each stop in the given direction; the final stop's time is an arrival. Columns cover the days shown in their heading, and the highlighted column is today. On busy mornings buses can run a few minutes later than scheduled, so allow a small buffer if the first bus matters for a connection.

First 6 bus FAQs

What time is the first 6 bus?

The first 6 bus leaves Bertie Road at 00:20 towards Victoria Station (Daily). From Victoria Station the first bus is at 00:03. Use the tables above for the first bus from any stop on the route.

Does the 6 bus run on Sundays?

No. TfL's timetable for the 6 has no Sunday service. Check the day columns above for the days this route runs.

Does the 6 run all night?

Yes. The 6 is a 24-hour route, so buses keep running through the night and there is no real "first bus". The times above are the first departures of each service day. Overnight buses usually run less often than during the day.

Where does the first 6 bus start from?
