Which bus company's name is obscured? Surely London Country Buses didn't
have a depot a couple of miles from Tower Bridge. Anyway, the gate of the
depot has an arch which looks too low for double deckers.
Possibly a Green Line coach depot? I'm not aware of one there (most were
well outside central London), but it would have been well-placed to
start the London end of the services that used the Minories terminus -
720, 721, 722 and 723 (the last of which ran along Commercial Road on
its way to Tilbury).
In the later days of LT running Green Line services, there were just a
pair of spare vehicles in central London kept at, I think, Victoria
(GM) and Hammersmith (RV). London Country had yet to be created then,
and I think I'd have heard if LCBS had opened a London garage later.
Unfortunately the Google Earth URL from the OP took me somewhere
rural, but if it was supposed to refer to Sidney street in Stepney
then I'm stumped.
I don't suppose there was something from, say, the GLC called London
Community Buses, doing call-and-ride for the elderly and disabled?
