Bemi Orojuogun has had a simple formula for making people stop scrolling: a London bus, a camera and her unmistakable personality. Now, the Nigerian-born content creator popularly known as London Bus Aunty has received an honour that brings her love for London’s iconic red buses even closer to home.
A bus stop in London has been named after her, marking another memorable chapter in her journey from social media sensation to one of the city’s recognisable internet personalities.
Orojuogun shared the news on Instagram on Wednesday, expressing her excitement and gratitude to Transport for London (TfL) and the people responsible for keeping the capital moving.
“Bus Aunty has her own bus stop. My goodness, I’m very lucky,” she said in the video while thanking TfL staff.

From Bus Videos to a London Landmark
Orojuogun’s rise to fame began with videos that captured her posing beside London buses as they passed behind her. The clips used camera angles and perspective to create entertaining moments that quickly caught the attention of viewers around the world.
What started as a distinctive social media hobby soon became a recognisable personal brand. Her videos have attracted tens of millions of views, while her cheerful personality and affection for London’s transport system have made her a familiar face to audiences far beyond the UK.
Her content has also opened doors to collaborations with major brands and public figures. She has worked with international brands and built a relationship with TfL, turning something as ordinary as a daily bus journey into content that people genuinely enjoy watching.
The recognition also adds to a growing list of milestones for Orojuogun. In 2025, she won Video of the Year at the TikTok UK Awards. The award further established her as one of the platform’s standout creators in Britain.

A Nigerian Woman Making Her Mark in the UK
Beyond the viral videos, Orojuogun’s story is also one of reinvention and creativity. A Nigerian-born nurse who has lived in the UK for more than three decades, she found an unexpected audience by embracing something she genuinely enjoyed.
Her content has allowed her to connect with people across generations and backgrounds, while her enthusiasm for London’s buses has become part of her identity online.
Her latest recognition is especially fitting because the buses that helped build her online community are now part of a physical tribute bearing her name.
For someone who started by simply having fun with a camera and London’s famous red buses, having a bus stop named in her honour is quite the full-circle moment.
