On 24 January 2009, the route was extended westwards via the Greenwich Peninsula to North Greenwich bus station.[1][2]
On 3 October 2009, East Thames Buses was sold to London General, which included a five-year contract to operate route 132.[3][4][5] On 7 November 2009, the allocation was transferred to London Central's Bexleyheath garage.[6]
Since October 2009, part of the route from Eltham to Bexleyheath has been covered at night by night bus route N21.[7]
In 2012, the route was converted from single-decker to double-decker operation.[8][9]
On 12 September 2015, the route gained a 24-hour service on Friday and Saturday nights.[10]
In November 2020, Transport for London announced that the route would be operated by electric double-decker buses.[11]
