Transport for London will extend the 91 bus service from Crouch End Broadway to Wood Green via Haringey Heartlands on 1 August 2026. The route will pass through Hornsey Park Road, Clarendon Road, Mary Neuner Road, Western Road and Mayes Road, linking the regeneration area to existing transport hubs.
The changes follow TfL’s announcement of service adjustments designed to improve reliability and reflect shifting travel patterns in north London. Geoff Hobbs, TfL’s director of public transport service planning, said the extension would provide better access to jobs, education and leisure opportunities for residents in the area.
