They look for all the world like Griselinia littoralis https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Griselinia_littoralis . Being evergreen, perhaps they were planted as pollution-resistant shrubs in Victorian times, maybe later. They are thriving in this sheltered suntrap on a site that was presumably alongside the former Crystal Palace High Level station. It appears now to be car parking and a turning circle for the rehabilitation centre in Bowley Close off Farquhar Road. The bus is turning left into Crystal Palace Parade.
