Surely no list of lowest buses is complete without the one that goes under the Thames? (the 108)

What about the 98? That's electric as well, with double-deckers.

Lowest-numbered bus route to serve an airport, (LHR or LCY) and also lowest-numbered bus to use a tunnel - 105. (Although, as Graham points out above, the 108 uses the lowest tunnel)
The 20 is also the lowest-numbered route to have never been operated by Routemasters (of either kind)
Serving non-Oyster-enabled station: currently 81 (Slough) but will become 117 (Ashford and Staines) when Slough becomes TfL-X-Liz

A fantastic post and I'm truly sorry that all I can think of is a niggle: 483 is (on the given criterion) unique, not a lowest.
I like Jon26's version of the Interesting Number Paradox.

In terms of the scheduled allocation, the 5 is the lowest numbered route using a mix hybrid and diesel buses, the 20 is the lowest numbered route which is 100% diesel operated, and the 25 is the lowest numbered 100% diesel operated route to enter zone 1.

485 - the lowest number route that changes timetable when the clocks change. It's down to the opening hours of the London Wetlands Centre. Of course it's possible this is a unique case but it's not an easy search.

There's a school service on the 63 from St Saviour's and St Olave's School next to Bricklayer's Arms, which has its own special bus stop outside. (I know this from wondering "why's that bus stop there?")
it leaves at 1544: [timetable]

Erm here are some from the top of my head (sorry if they are wrong!)
Lowest numbered route to serve a tram stop?
> 50 (Wellesley Road)
Lowest numbered route to not serve at District Line station (I count Aldwych as serving Temple as it's a minute away)?
> 20 (Walthamstow-Debden) - surprisingly high
Lowest numbered route to have a scheduled e2e journey time of under 30 minutes?
> 1 (Canada Water-TCR) manages 28 mins
Lowest numbered route to have a scheduled e2e journey time of over 90 minutes?
> 14 (Putney Heath-Warren Street) takes up to 1 hour 34 mins in the morning peak - 8am from Putney

@Dubidubno
They are all diesel-electric hybrids. Route 20 should, I think,should read "runs only on diesel"

With the Hammersmith Bridge closure, 33 is now the lowest numbered bus that serves only one borough, but no longer the lowest numbered bus that crosses the Thames twice.
