The driver was among the injured, all of whom have been treated by paramedics from the London Ambulance Service, said police.
Passenger Amy Mullineux, a nurse, said the driver told her he had lost consciousness.
"He said he blacked out before the bus hit the shop," the 40-year-old said. "He doesn't remember hitting anything."

Another passenger, Andrew Matthews, 34, said around a dozen people were on board when the bus began to drift off the road.
"As soon as the bus came to a stop there was yelling, screaming," he said. "I noticed a lady wedged in the front right-hand side. She was screaming for help. There was a lot of blood."
