[edit] History
Route 220 was introduced on 20 July 1960 as part of the Trollybus Replacement Programme for route 630 (between West Croydon and Harlesden), running between West Croydon and Park Royal.
In December 1966, the route was withdrawn between West Croydon and Mitcham, with weekend journeys terminating at Tooting, until January 1971 when it was withdrawn between Tooting and Mitcham, terminating at Tooting at all times.
September 1982 saw the route withdrawn between Park Royal and Willesden Junction Station. Then in May 1991 the route was withdrawn the other end between Tooting and Wandsworth.
The route was converted to low floor in 2000, and to a 24-hour service on 21 October 2005.
