from a bus 14 in London
It is 19.23pm and the traffic is very slow in Piccadilly, Central London. 

My bus, the route 14 to Fulham road, got stuck in front of The Royal Academy of Arts, where Her Majesty The Queen and other members of the royal family attended a Diamond Jubilee celebration of the arts and the exhibition of the British photographer Terry O'Neill.

The bus took more than 45 minuntes to go from Piccadilly station to Green Park station, while paparazi and curious people gathered in front of the museum. 

"Terry is at The Royal Academy of Artsd to meet The Queen in this glorious day," twitted O'Neil.

In normal conditions, the same half a mile trip should take about eight minutes on foot, according to my map phone application (see photo).
