London Sovereign is a bus company in North London. It is a subsidiary of RATP Group and operates buses under contract to Transport for London.
London Sovereign can trace its roots back to independent Borehamwood Travel Services which ran a fleet that included ex-Kelvin Central MCW Metrobuses and Northern Counties Palatines bodied Leyland Olympians and a collection of other vehicles. In 1993 it won its biggest London Buses contract, to operate route 13 with leased AEC Routemasters in its orange livery. In August 1994, Borehamwood Travel Services was sold to the Blazefield Group's Sovereign subsidiary, with the two operations merged as Sovereign London. On 3 November 2002, the business was sold to Transdev, and renamed Transdev London Sovereign.
After London United was transferred to RATP as a result of the wider Transdev group's merger with Veolia Transport in March 2011, London Sovereign became Transdev's only London bus company. In March 2014, London Sovereign was sold to RATP and resumed trading as London Sovereign.
London Sovereign operate two bus garages.
As at August 2015, Edgware garage operated routes 13, 183, 251, 292, 326, 605, 618, 619 and N13. On 24 October 2015, route 324 passed to Metroline. On 3 September 2016, route 114 passed to Metroline.
