According to: http://www.londonbusroutes.net/miscellaneous/regs.htm#council
this was a car number issued by the Greater London Council, prior to 1963.
The first letter is a "counter" (i.e. A was first, then B etc.), so it was
fairly late in the series of LH numbers. Maybe late 50s, early 60s?

Mike, sounds reasonable to me. But if "LH" was a Greater London series, I'd
suspect that they might have run out of three-letter/three-number combinations
some time in the 1950s and reversed them; in other words, later (but still
pre-1963) plates from that office more likely would have read 635 TLH. But
chances are one of our UK list members will know for sure?
