UK - London - Routemaster bus in Kensington

On Sydney Street, SW3, a busy thoroughfare through the smart borough of Kensington and Chelsea, we see a build-up of rush-hour traffic where cars are queued up with their headlights on, waiting for lights to change. Also waiting, at a bus stop, is a single-decker bus on its way from south London. Opposite is a rarer sight, an old classic Routemaster bus about to pull away from its stop too. Note that driving is on the left-hand side, unlike other countries. In the distance are the tall towers of the Victoria and Albert Museum on the Brompton Road and on the right are the very expensive terraced houses whose balconies are edged with plants and railings. The camera's time-exposure has blurred many vehicles that have passed-by only registering their rear lights..
