Tower Transit was an operator of buses under contract to Transport for London. Tower Transit was formed in 2013 after some of First London's assets were sold to Transit Systems.
In September 2021, RATP and Kelsian Group agreed to a partial merger of their West London bus operations. As part of the joint venture, Tower Transit's Westbourne Park garage was transferred to RATP Dev Transit London, under a new subsidiary London Transit. Tower Transit's remaining East London operations, based at Lea Interchange garage, were sold to Stagecoach London in June 2022.
