It runs 24 hours a day and is operated by Abellio from their Battersea garage (QB). The route only uses the New Routemaster and was the first route in London to do this. The route passes these landmarks: Victoria station, Westminster Abbey, Parliament square, Whitehall, Trafalgar Square, Leicester Square, Cambridge Circus, Tottenham Court Road, Euston Tower, Carreras cigarette factory and Camden Town. There are unscheduled curtailments set up in the map. The route takes just under an hour at peak time, down to 40 mins during a night run. It runs between Pimlico (a residential area filled with Regency architecture and grid style streets sitting on the bank of the river Thames)and Hampstead Heath (a huge public park in North London surrounded by affluent houses and the Royal Free Hospital). Route 24 is the oldest unchanged bus route in London.
