Yesterday's oddest Twitter/London story was probably this report from radio station <a href="http://www.lbc.co.uk/swarm-of-bees-shuts-regent-street-41361/album/regent_st_a__hive__of_activity/1240#19408">LBC</a>, which was tweeted by the London Air Ambulance charity and thence by city theorists/publishers <a href="http://www.thisisnotagateway.net/">This Is Not A Gateway</a>.

Like many London 'insect invasion' news stories, the scale of the attack was pretty localised (confined in this case to one traffic light), but the swarm of bees that descended upon Regent Street was scary enough to merit beekeeper intervention and close the street.
