Which bus Embankment Gardens to the Royal Albert Hall?

Is there a route involving just one bus from Embankment Gardens, along
the Chelsea Embankment to the Royal Albert Hall? From what I can
gather from Internet maps etc., the nearest bus for that seems to be
the 360. Can you advise?

Assuming you are on the north side of the Thames then walk up Villiers
St to Charing Cross station and catch a number 9 bus direct. The 360
runs south of the Thames and is no good to you at all.

The Routemaster operated number 9 terminates at Royal Albert Hall
while the pay as you enter version runs to Hammersmith but will, of
course, stop at the Royal Albert Hall. Buses are about every 5 mins
during the day, Monday to Saturday. about every 10 evenings and
Sundays.

The number 9 bus from directly outside Charing Cross station (stop S)
goes direct to the Royal Albert Hall. If you are starting from
Victoria Embankment Gardens then you just need to walk the very short
distance up Villiers Street - see this street map:

The green area to the north of Villiers St and west of Victoria
Embankment (the road) is Victoria Embankment gardens.

I think you're looking at the wrong Embankment Gardens. "Chelsea
Embankment" is a clue! He wants a 452.

And could have found this out himself by searching for a route from
Chelsea Bridge to the RAH in the journey planner at

Or a 360, as I said in another post.

It's nowhere near the hospital buildings though - you want bus 170 at
the north end of the grounds. I wouldn't be surprised if it's some
sort of service they're legally obliged to provide.
