Are London buses exact fare?

No, though in London it is "buy before you board" in the central
area. But most use Oyster anyway.

Exact change policies are generally considered passenger unfriendly
in the UK, and are practiced only by a minority of bus operators.

Until roughly 1970, bus drivers in major cities gave change so
passengers didn't need to have the exact fare in cash. But holdups
pushed transit carriers to go exact fare.

Not in the UK, where change being given is the norm.
