London's Falling

A pictorial essay

To paraphrase the Clash from late 1979 / early 1980.

“The ice age is coming, the sun's zoomin' in
Engines stop running, the wheat is growin' thin”

Well the Ice Age failed but London is trying very hard to bring about a human ice age, where everything is tracked. Try paying cash in the centre of London and you’ll be mostly out of luck. Of course I think that it’s still legal tender so if you leave say £20 on their counter for your lunch as you walk out into the London air is there really anything they can do about it other than run after you with a terminal in their hand saying “sir but you have to pay by card”.

I don’t think so….

Anyway here’s London mostly from Friday just gone. My comments were (mostly) added at the time as I snapped on my phone. They’re not in order.
