Stop by at

Hi

When I'm on a bus, do I ask:

Do you stop at Geneva Ave?
Do you stop by at Geneva Ave?
Do you stop in Geneva Ave?

And also another question:

On our trip in the UK, we stopped by in/at/on London.

Thanks!

S. the bus stops at a place, like a museum, or on a particular street. By is used more in the case of visiting: On our way to school, we stopped by John's place to see how he was doing.

This is OK if you are going along Smith Street and you want to know if the bus stops at the intersection with Geneva Avenue.
