The woman was sitting on a route 455 bus at Barnard Close around 7.15pm on August 18 when a man boarded the bus. He sat next to her and stroked her leg.
The woman challenged the man and moved seats, before the suspect got off the bus, Metropolitan Police said.
Police have released an image of a man they want to speak to.
“I am appealing to anyone who recognises the man in this picture to come forward and speak to police,” Detective Inspector Jonathan Potter.
“We need the help of the public to identify this man so that he cannot carry out any further attacks on women.
“The bus network is an extremely safe place for people to travel, but when incidents like this occur, we will utilise all available evidence to ensure those who choose to carry out criminal acts are identified and put before the courts.”
There have been no arrests so far.
