I'm not so sure it would particularly easy on London bus
routes; there are many stops that wouldn't be easy to name.
Stops at well known places; stations, large shops, pubs
and cinemas for sure, but what about all the
stops in not very memorable places?

Every bus stop has a name written on it.

Trouble is, bus stops on opposite sides of the road often have different
names. For instance, a local stop for eastbound services (routes 33,
337, etc) is named Queen's Road after the adjacent side road. But the
stop opposite, for westbound services, is named Gilpin Avenue after the
adjacent turning on that side of the main road.

The spider map gives only Queens Road, whatever the direction of travel
- very confusing for westbound passengers looking at bus-stop names!
