People-Watching

Performers in Trafalgar Square

Paddington Station

You never know what or who you will see in London. Street performers abound, especially in Trafalgar Square. I love to watch people's reactions to the performers. Do they just ignore them and walk past? Or do they stop and stare at the strangeness?

Then, in train stations, just pay attention. Mom and I grabbed a quick lunch of a baguette from Upper Crust in Victoria Station and sat on a bench to eat when a worker from Costa Coffee ventured out to hand out samples. He looked like a very interesting guy, certainly had a happy countenance.

There is always something interesting to look at. Of course, I usually don't have my camera ready. Many times when we are rushing to see the attractions we miss some very interesting sights. People-watching, itself, is a sight to see in London.
