A while ago I got on a bus which went to Mill Hill East. It went up

But which bus route has the highest vertical climb?


As a first guess, route 210 from Finsbury Park to Whitestone Pomd on
Hampstead Heath, the latter being the highest point in London. Detailed
analysis may well produce another answer but finding the relavant data
is tedious! Also, routes extending outside the Boroughs may well go
higher.


I am not sure if the question is about the highest (as per the text) or
steepest (as per title); or indeed about height change over the route.
But yes, if we can include routes extending beyond Greater London I
think the 246 easily beats the 210 on absolute height. It reaches
c.240m at the the border with Kent and a bit more as it goes on up
Westerham Hill.
