There are plenty of local characters too such as Ainsley Harriot, the local Bobby on the Beat, mr key maker in the Tube Station, the Super Mum in Waitrose with her Bluetooth call, baby and weekly shopping, the Sainsbury’s Security Guard, the Big Issue seller and a TFL worker.
There is much more to be found so have a good browse and see what you can spot! My favourite is the Pigeon in his top hat, the man having an affair and nearly being caught, or the clown coming up from the sewers.
Bonus fact: see the bus on the bottom left? This is paying respect to the doomed number 44 bus that fell in to a bomb crater in 1944.
