Default London Squares

John Rowland:
Nearly all London squares have a clockwise one-way system, even though when
all of the roads in and out of the square are one-way, an anti-clockwise
one-way system is superior (because drivers have better visibility when
curving to the left). ...


Perhaps this was done in preparation for a changeover to driving on the
right. After all, now that Britain is part of the EU...

A man's vehicle is a symbol of his manhood.
That's why my vehicle's the Piccadilly Line -
It's the size of a county and it comes every two and a half minutes
