Yes, the city is busy at the moment and before everyone returns home in few days with some sort of agreement, I wanted to share few pix about the ambiance there.
Imagine a beautiful cathedral, St Paul and hundred of tents outside. Imagine also protesters giving informal discussions, lectures or moments of music, surrounded by curious (all with camera’s or should I say iPhones!), journalists and business people trying to get a sandwich at M&S during their lunchbreak.
It was a really strange and funny atmosphere, it’s a clash of Fashion!! Suits and sweatshirts in the same area.
A clash of environment!! tents in the middle of the city and St Pauls in the background as if the ‘lord divine’ wanted to also participate!
This resembled more like a festival from the summer! Its The Big Chill in central London!
The Guardian quoted the declaration of the Prime Minister David Cameron “Obviously, the right of people to protest is fundamental to our country. The idea of establishing tents in the middle of our city, I don’t feel is particularly constructive. I don’t think it’s particularly constructive in Parliament Square, and I don’t think it’s particularly constructive at St Paul’s.”
Maybe not constructive but certainely in opposition with today’s world.

Hi TdF, thanks for the update, I’m based in Berlin and was wondering if the contest was also important in London. Agree with you! Cheers.
