The bus is at the junction of Well Street and Lauriston Road, and it represents a link with the past, for Route 277 can trace its ancestry directly back, via the 677 trolleybus and the 77 electric tram, to the horse tramway which began in 1869 and ran from Cassland Road to Limehouse. The present 277 goes from Highbury and Islington station to Leamouth.
