London Buses route N113 commenced operation on 30 June 2012 between Edgware Station and Trafalgar Square via Station Road - Edgwarebury Lane - Edgware Way - Watford Way - Mill Hill Circus - Watford Way - Hendon Central Station - Hendon Way - Finchley Road & Frognal Station - Finchley Road - Finchley Road Station - Finchley Road - Swiss Cottage Station - Avenue Road - Adelaide Road - Finchley Road - St John's Wood Station - Wellington Road - Lord's Cricket Ground - Park Road - Baker Street - Baker Street Station - Orchard Street - Oxford Street - Oxford Circus - Regent Street - Piccadilly Circus - Haymarket - Cockspur Street. The route was initially operated by Metroline from their Edgware (EW) garage using Plaxton President bodied Volvo B7TLs. TfL published a proposal to create an N113 running along the normal daytime route from Edgware to Oxford Street, but additionally serving Oxford Circus, Piccadilly Circus and Trafalgar Square.
In June 2013, the Plaxton President bodied Volvo B7TLs were replaced by Alexander Dennis Enviro 400s.
On 1 April 2017, the Alexander Dennis Enviro 400s were replaced by Alexander Dennis Enviro 400Hs.
On 1 September 2018, MCV eVoSeti bodied Volvo B5LHs were introduced alongside the existing Alexander Dennis Enviro 400Hs.
In November 2018, the route converted into full MCV eVoSeti bodied Volvo B5LH operation.
On 24 February 2019, the route was re-routed to operate via Baker Street and Park Road northbound and via Baker Street, Portman Square (south side), and Portman Street southbound.
On 25 November 2023, the PVR increased from 4 to 5.
On 20 January 2024, existing Wright Electroliner EVs were introduced alongside the existing MCV eVoSeti bodied Volvo B5LH operation.
The route will be retained by Metroline from 30 March 2024.
The route will convert to a full Wright Electroliner EV operation from 2024.
