It was originally done by the Metropolitan Police, but now numbers are decided by TfL. (Transport for London). Generally new routes are given numbers that relate to existing ones. AFAIR the last set of renumberings was to get rid of letter suffixes which were an integral part of the 1923 Metropolitan Police Scheme

Some fat cat at the council will earn his months wage sat in a huge massaging padded chair, in a custom armani suit, randomly picking numbers out of a hat whilst playing solitaire on his top of the range laptop pc with 24mg broadband connection. All while being paid insane amounts of tax payer money for the priviledge instead of doing proper work like sorting out congestion, hospitals or schools.
