Queen Meets Hackney Teens - in Turkey
To be fair, she was on a visit to Turkey anyway. But she spent the day meeting pupils from Haggerston School and Hackney Community College, who are working on a special project (funded by the British Council) at a school in Kabatas.
The pupils - from famously Turkish areas of London - have been working together with local students to market a new eco-friendly hybrid bike. Whether 'her madj' had a go on one we don't know, but if she gets a taste for scooting around, she'll find it an easy and cheap way to transport herself across London to the East End.

The No.8 isn't bendy. It used to be a Routemaster, but thankfully was replaced with a generic double decker rather than the articulated eyesore.
I think it's a typo for 38- DOH
Oh yeah! I should've worked that out really, regular rider on yon 38 that I am.
I shall correct it.
