This route dates back to the beginning of the 20th century when it ran between Peckham and Isleworth, later being extended to Hounslow; for a short period there was even a very long Summer Sunday extension to Maidenhead! For many years buses on this route would frequently terminate at either Richmond, or Isleworth instead of completing the trip to Hounslow - so intense was the service frequency. By 1981, serious disruptions to the service caused by ever increasing congestion and other operating difficulties resulted in the splitting of the route into two overlapping sections. Peckham to Putney or Richmond and Clapham to Hounslow It was run by the old route master buses somtimes the service was split into twoie when the bus arrivved in Richmond or putney there was another bus 37 waiting to go to the rest of the journey. It aslo ran past West Middlesex Hospital. In 1991 the route was withdrawn west of Putney. New route 337 covered the section from Clapham Junction to Richmond and the new midibus route H37 covered Richmond to Hounslow.
Route 37 gained new Alexander Dennis Enviro400s in January 2007 and was extended from Putney Station to Putney Heath Green Man in April 2007.
