So, why is London traffic so bad today? Because it’s London. It’s always bad. Tomorrow will be bad. Next week will be worse.
We all share this collective misery. It’s a unifying experience, like cheering when you finally see the M25 moving faster than 5 mph. It’s a small victory, but we take what we can get.
Honestly, the best advice? Accept it. Put on a podcast. Sing loudly off-key. Pretend you’re in a very slow, £30-per-hour movie. And maybe just get the Tube next time. But you won’t, will you? Nobody ever does.
