When I get stuck in traffic like that I shut it off till i know I will be moving at a good enough clip to keep the bike cool.

if it got that hot I would recommend an immediate oil change,,that oil isnt much good anymore.

You gotta pick you travel times according to the rush hrs in downtown London. I was also pondering if a small 12 volt motorcycle fan could have some brackets fastened and mounted up front..Run a wire with a switch up to the bars that you could flick on if unexpecetedly trapped.
