The City of London Corporation prohibited trams and trolleybuses from entering the square mile - Aldgate was therefore used as a terminal on the edge of the city.

Opened in the 1930s, by 1947 it was the busiest bus station in London with 1,358 departures a day.

[4][5] In January 2015 the bus station closed in connection with adjoining roadworks.

[8][9] The air rights from forty feet upwards above the bus station were transferred from BRB (Residuary) Limited on its abolition in 2013 to London and Continental Railways.
