The passengers were rushed to Central London Hospital where their injuries are not thought to be life threatening.
Witness Karim Roundi, 25, who lives opposite the crash scene said he was on a lunch break when he witnessed the collision.
He told the Evening Standard: ‘Someone stepped out onto a pedestrian crossing and a car slammed on its brakes.
‘The car behind went into the back of it and the bus swerved out of the way to avoid colliding into them.
‘It lost control and went up onto the pavement and hit a block of flats. I didn’t realise it hit a woman at first’.
Pictures and videos shared on twitter showed emergency services at the cordoned-off area and an air ambulance leaving the scene.
