That's about walking speed.


If you've ever walked down Oxford Street you'll have noted that


Oxford Street is a pedestrian zone so not representative. I use buses
quite a bit - but not in the West End or to get to it - and in general
they're very much faster than walking.

Cycling in London (even without playing silly antics and overtaking on
the inside and jumping red lights like many idiots do) is generally
faster than travel by bus.


Faster than a car too in rush hour for the average journey. Assuming you
have the energy.
