One of the main problems of older cities in this world is that they weren't designed and built to accommodate automobile traffic. When London was founded in ancient roman times, they could never have imagined the car. In the TV series "The Good Life" (a.k.a. Good Neighbors) which comes from just before this song was released, they occasionally refer to spending over an hour to cross the London bridge. I've heard since then it's only gotten worse. It's a hideously complicated problem and there doesn't really seem to be a solution to it.
