The GPS firm RAM Tracking found that cars using Jamaica Road in Southwark between 8am and 9am last month averaged just 0.08 miles an hour. An average pedestrian would walk about forty times faster.

Second on the list is Bedford Road in Clapham where the average speed was 0.13mph, followed by Greenhill Way in Harrow and Queen Anne's Gate in Westminster.
