Sitting on a Sea Turtle in Piccadilly

We’re near Piccadilly Circus, there’s a big painted sea turtle sculpture on a blue plinth, part of a public art trail supported by Deborah Meaden and Steven Bartlett, no less, and absolutely nobody sitting on it is paying the slightest bit of attention to it. They’re all on their phones.

The star of the show for me is the person in the middle, who has gone full Union Jack: hat, bag, the works, paired with red tracksuit bottoms and a set of brightly coloured trainers that honestly deserve their own photo.

Love London for street photography!

London is the capital and largest city of both England and the United Kingdom, with a population of 9.1 million people in 2024. Its wider metropolitan area is the largest in Western Europe, with a population of 15.1 million. London stands on the River Thames in southeast England, at the head of a 50-mile (80 km) tidal estuary down to the North Sea, and has been a major settlement for nearly 2,000 years. Its ancient core and financial centre, the City of London, was founded by the Romans as Londinium and has retained its medieval boundaries. The City of Westminster, to the west of the City of London, has been the centuries-long host of the national government and parliament. London grew rapidly in the 19th century, becoming the world's largest city at the time. Since the 19th century the name "London" has referred to the metropolis around the City of London, historically split between the counties of Middlesex, Essex, Surrey, Kent and Hertfordshire, which since 1965 has largely comprised the administrative area of Greater London, governed by 33 local authorities and the Greater London Authority.
