The crash, which occurred shortly before 9am, happened after the bus made a right turn and collided with a height-restricted entryway.
Signage at the entrance clearly states a maximum height of 3.6m with London buses typically ranging in height from between 4.5 to 4.7 meters.
Pictures taken by a GB News reporter on the scene show the top of the bus crushed with the windows on the top layer of the bus shattered.
At time of writing, the entrance to the taxi rank is down to a single-lane of moving traffic.
