...when not many other people are. Oxford Street is a pretty nice place to be when its not end to end jammed up with buses.  Exhibition Rd.  No one home at the Science museum.  Lets cruise the Kings Road then, for old times sake.  I was going to buy Mrs_Seth a special gift but all the shops were shut. Who knew?  The City is pretty much this quiet on any Sunday morning.  Though Aldwych/Fleet Street would have a few more souls around.  So back through a deserted Covent Garden  and head for home past Euston.  |

That is one of the coolest photos I have seen in a long time - don't really know why but I love it. In black and white that would be perfection. (If I had a suitably retro machine I would go into Birmingham and do something similar.) |

Lovely pictures! Makes me want to grab my camera and head off to our capital, very curious about how quiet Amsterdam is on an early Sunday morning like this.

I think its the lack of buses that makes driving about on Christmas Day better than any other and the roads even quieter. Its the only day when there are avsolutely none of them around. I didn't even bother getting out at an unreasonable hour yesterday, I think that first photo on Oxford St was at around 9am. Its much busier these days though than when I first started doing this nearly 20 years ago. Vulgar, I will admit to regularly checking myself out as I pass that window  I can't normally stop and take a photo though. styleheck, ElWoody, would love to similarly see other capitals  |

Parking is never easier in SW18 than at Xmas when all the rich folk have gone off to their country pads. Mass Range Rover evacuation.
