Early morning meetings in Central London followed by a walk across Westminster Bridge. I'd been particularly early for my session and had time for a pre-meeting latte in a coffee shop across the way.
I was the only person sitting outside at one of the pavement tables, yet it's my preference to sit outside when possible at this particular place, which has a view right across towards Downing Street.
Come to think of it, there were also only a few regular tourists blocking the main crossing at Parliament Square although this was more than compensated by the coach loads of exchange students doing visits to London Town.
They arrive in a sort of soundscape. You can hear them long before they come into proper view. Loud conversations, foreign languages, headphone music and giggling with loud shouting related to the road crossings.
Even London's loud traffic doesn't drown them.
And then, about two seconds after I took this picture, I ran into a friend crossing the bridge in the opposite direction.

That is an interesting angle in the photo...! I guess The Tourists are inevitable---just as they are in any City that has such History and in the case of London, is Sooo very Fascinating and Beautiful...!
