On 25 September 1993, the contract for route 4 was won by London Suburban Bus, who operated the route with Leyland Titans.[2]
On 27 April 1995, route 4 was included in the sale of London Suburban Bus to Metroline[2] and in March 2000 to DelGro Corporation.[3]
In April 2019, TfL announced that route 4 would be shortened between Waterloo and New Change and extended to Blackfriars via Queen Victoria Street instead, with the change scheduled to take effect in June of that year.[4]
