Last time I arrived twenty minutes early; before that, on time.
Occasionally it all goes pear-shaped, but not often.

Does the bus stop anywhere before Park Lane? For example, the Cambridge
buses take about a hour to get to Stratford, and then another hour to get
from Stratford to Victoria. You can get off at Stratford and take the tube
which saves about half an hour - especially if you're using a Travelcard and
wanted to go somewhere other than Victoria in the first place.
