I have found it very difficult using the TFL web site to work out
exactly where bus routes go.

Well these sites are more for enthusiasts but they have loads of
information and timetables. I use them in preference to the TfL website
and its rather silly journey planner.

www.londonbusroutes.net for route details, changes etc
www.busmap.co.uk for a downloadable London wide bus map or you can buy
one.

I think I have worked out that I could use bus route 187 to go from near
Finchley Road station to near Queens Park station.

yep that bus links those 2 places. The other alternative would be a 31
from Swiss Cottage to Carlton Vale plus a short walk. This may be out of
your way but the 31 is very frequent although also very busy.

Thanks for all replies. Am coming in from Amersham, usually go into
Marylebone and out on the Bakerloo, but the closure of Bakerloo tube in
the mornings is going to cause delay, so am looking for alternatives.

The Met trains take longer, but would I save by not going into central
London?. I have used the North London Line from Finchley Rd & Frognal
(or West Hampstead) down to Brondesbury Park, but this service is every
15 minutes and if the connections are not right I can end up with quite
a wait. The South Hampstead option offers trains every 20 minutes,
again I could be in for a long wait. I was hoping busses would be more
frequent, I will have a look at the 31
