Probably the Ozbus (Westminster Embankment to Sydney Opera House), if it
is still running.

I don't know the route number, but I believe that it is about 18 miles.

Having said that, I wonder what the shortest bus route is.

Stage buses I assume.

There used to be one that did Southend to Bow, via Brentwood and Romford
(ie following the railway line). That's about 40 miles.

If you mean TfL routes then

http://www.londonbusroutes.net/details.htm

has km and miles for every TfL route plus some others that are cross
boundary. The X26 looks like the longest TfL route from a quick
glance.
There are some night routes like the N47 and N159 that get pretty
close.

The shortest route might be the 389 in Barnet but I think the stats
on
the above site are rounded so there some others that seem to be about
the same length.

X26 34 km 20 m 79-127 min

But the OP said "excepting anything that goes to the airport" as the
X26 does, so the night bus N89 is a better reply.

34 km 21m 71-79 min
Erith - Bexleyheath - Shooters Hill - Lewisham - Peckham - Elephant &
Castle - Trafalgar Square

And the shortest is surely the 917 2 km 1 mile ?

Well, I admit I haven't looked at every single route, but the 409
between Croydon and East Grinstead is shown as 44km or 27 miles. It's
not a TfL route, but operates in London for at least part of its
length and is s stage route.

How about the 402 Bromley - Tunbridge Wells?
