When next tendered, it passed to Travel London's Walworth garage on 18 September 2004.[1]

Route 100 was included in the 21 May 2009 sale of Travel London to Abellio London.[2][3][4] On 19 September 2009, Abellio London commenced a further contract to operate the route.[5]

When next tendered, the contract to operate the route was awarded to London General with the handover occurring on 20 September 2014.[6][7]

In September 2016, Transport for London opened a consultation on changing the route to only operate between Wapping and the Museum of London.[8] The route was amended to operate between Shadwell and the London Wall on 8 April 2017 with route 388 replacing it to Elephant & Castle.[9]

As part of TfL's Central London Buses Review, route 100 was extended from London Wall to St Paul's.[10]
