In a thread about London?It must be typical London arrogance to assume people will know you mean London

6 Rando’s within 2 metres with noses out and masks on taking up the middle of a central line carriage, no spacing.
Fairly sure 3 knew each other but for fucks sake the mask covers nose and mouth you cretins

I was on the central yesterday - quiet at 10am, rammed when I went back around 1 from Liverpool Street. Full of people shopping and Essex kids coming in to go to the West End. I mean basically like the previous normal - less a question of trying to avoid distancing, more of just trying to get in the bloody carriage at all.
I was lucky though, I spotted an empty row of seats where somebody had sparked out and was lying across all of them apart from one, so everyone was staying away. I sat at the foot end on the basis that it wasn't like her feet were going to be lethal or anything. Then she woke up, pulled herself together onto one seat, and went to sleep again. Cheers random woman on the tube

A lot of people in the East End then btw. Similar level to a normal Saturday I'd say, Sunday is always the big day. I was out for a photo walk with some folk, meeting up early, but people were setting up just like normal - stalls, dancers, etc, waiting for tourists.

That's not really in the spirit of the thread is it? It's meant to be 'look there are people, we're all doomed!'

I’m quite surprised it looks so quiet.

Showing how empty and sad it still is in places which are normally overrun with hoardes of people.

Dust.
The wet stuff falling out of the sky tends to discourage people.
That's more like it. Hordes of people and anywhere there is people actually inside must be described as rammed.

One on one? You're crazy.
Went to my 1st Art exhibition in about 18 months this afternoon, Jean Dubuffet , at the Barbican . I'd never heard of him tbf (mrs21 suggested it) . It wasn't very busy , so wasn't as annoying inside as you didn't have to wait long to have a look. The cafe downstairs was annoying, picked up a sandwich, crisps & a can of pop, took them to the till. As I was not taking away, I had to order from the app, so eventually got the items I'd picked up, about 15 minutes later , except for the crisps as I couldn't be arsed.

The tube hasn't been too bad IME. I've been going in to work 1 day a week and I'm on a busy section of the line normally, but it's not been too bad.
Hope you have a good visit.
I was in Soho yesterday too for the first time since lockdown. Seemed to be a lot of closed down shops and cafes.Yesterday I went into town - and for the first time since 2019 headed to the cheapo barber in Soho that I've used for going on 20 years. Got there to find it closed and the unit stripped out.
