You need to define "route" and "in London" more precisely, but there is
a route (continuous journey in passenger service in the same train
without reversing) that is wholly within Greater London and takes (or
did so when I last researched it two years ago) 20 hrs 8 min.

Hammersmith (H&C) dep. 04:49
Barking arr. 00:57

How do you define 'London'?
Do you mean 'Which route takes the longest to complete?' or 'Which route
is the longest distance?'

Two losers for you:

288 Queensbury - Edgware - Broadfields Estate - Edgware - Queensbury.
305 Edgware - The Hale - Burnt Oak - Kingsbury.

I think a "winner" for length is usually the N47, Trafalgar Square to St
Mary Cray (obviously only a winner at night).

Would the shortest be the RV1 from Tower Gateway to Covent Garden?

Does the 607 still run?

You can find the lengths of every bus route here

It looks like the longest normal day route in Greater London is the 111
Heathrow - Kingston (25km) and at night the N89 Trafalgar Square - Erith
(34km).

Yes, good point - probably one of the longest day routes (Shepherd's
Bush to Uxbridge for the uninitiated). The 113 seems pretty long too -
Oxford Circus all the way to Edgware.

The N207 is also a potential candidate amongst the night routes -
Holborn to Uxbridge, it must be one of the longest (and very frequent:
every 10 minutes at the weekends).

....although (unless you count it as abnormal) then the X26 wins at 34km
- which is long as the N89.
