Stunning, thank you. Reminded me of one night 15 years ago: I couldn’t sleep so went walking leaving home (in Islington) at 3am; walked down to and around the city, passed a rave club with people spilling out, watched the sunrise on the shore of the Thames, ambled along the Southbank (pre its sprucing up), around Hyde Park.

Comment on Morris Dancing “facing extinction” by Andrew France

Hi Ian! Really would it be a bad thing to lose? Morris Dancing is an embarrassment to the nation, not just the youth, imagine what other countries would think if they saw us doing it! Some old men slowly jumping about in Swiss-lumberjack costumes, waving hankies, and hitting sticks together with a particularly non-tuneful dirge in the background. I don’t see what it has going for it?

Can’t say Morris Dancing is really my thing, but just as it ever was, we (the English) are one of the few nations where the cultural elite despises any form of national folk culture. Our Celtic neighbours do not….

The only time I’ve ever seen London like this was the day of Princess Diana’s funeral. A strange experience, the streets deserted and the same classical music coming out of everybody’s windows.

Hi Ian

Awesome photos. I went into town on Christmas Eve morning and walked across Traf Square and had to ring my hubby who works in the City. The place was empty - it felt eerie beyond belief. This was at around half ten in the morning. The only people I saw at TS were the heritage wardens. Now usually, there are around fifty to a hundred people on the Square, walking to work / wherever along with tourists taking photos…seeing no one freaked me out…very 28 Days Later.

Very interesting project and to see so many well known places so deserted! I first spotted his on LadyBanana’s site and guessed you were on a bike (maybe the one in one of the slideshow pictures?)

I was around Knightsbridge late on Christmas Eve (videoed a short snip) and most of the main streets were still buzzy.
