| RM 22. (VLT 22) on route 177 in McLeod Road Abbey Wood. July 1970.
The 177 replaced the old 36/38 tram routes and went from Abbey Wood to the Victoria Embankment via Westminster or Blackfriars. By the time this picture was taken the 177 only went to the Elephant and Castle with just early morning journeys to the Embankment. Changes to the 177 mean that it doesn't serve this road now but goes
via Abbey Estate with the other end of the route diverted to Peckham.
