Long Branch Loop is the westernmost streetcar stop within the Toronto streetcar system, operated by the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC).[1] It is located in the Long Branch neighbourhood in southwestern Toronto, close to the boundary with Mississauga. Long Branch Loop is the western terminus for four streetcar routes but is principally served by the 507 Long Branch route.[2] Several TTC and MiWay bus routes terminate at the loop.
Westbound streetcars enter the turning loop from Lake Shore Boulevard and turn counter-clockwise to face east on the north side of the platform. Bus bays are on the opposite south side of the platform with a shelter building in the centre, which once provided washrooms and a waiting room for the public.

It is only important to note that tracks reached Etobicoke Creek and the present site of today's Long Branch Loop in 1895. It would be another thirty-three years before the loop would come into being. Long Branch Loop came into being in on December 8, 1928, when the TTC extended 'city' tracks from the Humber River along Lake Shore Boulevard to this site.
