Based on what evidence?

My evidence would be taking a look at traffic flows at Piccadilly
Circus, along the western half of Shaftesbury Avenue, and at the
junction of Bloomsbury Street and New Oxford Street.

In particular, note the difficulty that bendy buses have actually
getting into the junction at Picadilly Circus from Picadilly itself,
how much road space they need to turn left from Regent Street onto
Picadilly, and how New Oxford Street snarls up because bendy buses
turning onto it from Bloomsbury Street so often have the unpalatable
choice of either just sitting there and not making the turn, or stopping
so as to block the entire junction.

Hope that helps.
