Are there any modern routes that serve Victoria and areas just outside
London that don't start with a 7?

You have to distinguish between Green Line (Centre of London to outside)
and London Country Buses (also painted green & which took over Green
Line in 1986)

Not all Green Line served Victoria

They certainly did not! Our services out in Bucks were 709, 710 and
711, all off which went through central London to various destinations
in Surrey. In the 1950s we used them regularly from the
Uxbridge/Hillingdon area.. The trolley buses along the Uxbridge Road
were numbered 607. There is a bus route 207 to this day.

On numbering BTW , with trams the notation was even-numbered services
south of the Thames and odd-numbered ones north of the River .When
trolley buses replaced trams the numbers were preceded by 5 or 6
