Well done on your success! The Greenwich Cyclists always organise a christmas day ride which I keep meaning to attend, I understand it is usually very popular!

That is spookily quiet and great set of photos. On Xmas morning, I took a wrong turn due to some road works I ended up getting slightly lost driving through Surrey and I’m sure I saw more traffic on the roads that you did in the West End.

i forst saw these on gadling (which lead me to your blog:). what still strikes me is that this is a sight you will not see in the u.s. in any city of any size. there are always gas stations, convenience stores, large supermarkets, street vendors, etc. at least part of the day every day. amazing that such a large financial market as london, is closed!

I was gutted when I saw your photos come up on flickr, I’d been pondering the idea of getting Christmas Day to take photos myself in the run up to Christmas, but thanks to it being my birthday and my need to see my folks up north that’s never going to happen. What I will try is getting up for the dawn around my half birthday in June to see how quiet the city is then.

Next year definitely do some video as well! Or maybe just upload some John Cage and invite viewers to use it as a soundtrack.

Well done, Ian!
Next year, mount a video camera to your handlebars and we’ll get a sense of the silence.
