The Londoner is used to having one or other of the streets on the main trafic routes up at this time of year, and the bus that takes him to work plunges into known stretches of side streets that form a kind of jungle. But this summer there is an interference with traffic of an extraordinary kind. The whole of Piccadilly from the Circus to Hyde Park Corner is to be relaid, and the enormous stream of traffic east and west will bave to find other channels for the next four months.
The traffic going west will be sent along Pall Mall, past Marlborough House, then round Buckingham Palace to Constitution, Hill.
