My guess was that it was a roadie carrying supplies for an early Bee Gees tour.

And it's certainly London, but I thought the pic looked earlier than '66. I'd've guessed late '50s, from the look of it. But there you go. I know nothing.
Likes the warm feeling but is tired of all the dehydration.

Isn’t it Oxford Street? I wouldn’t recognize it though. As many times as I’ve been to London, I’ve walked down that street once. Electronic shops is all I recall. Probably spent more time in Paddington. :)

Trying to read the number on the bus. If it's 12, it certainly goes down Oxford Street. If it's 11, I don't think its Oxford Street, but nearby. The old eyes can't quite make it out. As kids, we used to be taken there every Christmas to see Santa and to look at the lights from the top of a bus. I haven't been down Oxford Street in probably about 20+ years now - when I lived in London it was filled with mostly fashion and department stores. Tottenham Court Road was where the electronic shops were then.
