Some good shots there. London's downtown is at a crossroads. Evidently the development has been taking off, but the increase of pedestrian activity has been held back by the sheer number of homeless individuals and junkies roaming the streets. Numerous stores and restaurants have relocated out to the burbs as a consequence (including a bike store that I made a recent bike purchase, and Massey's Indian cuisine...both owners told me that the (only) reason why they moved was because of the problems with vagrants). Just look at what a retailing disaster Citi Plaza has become:

Just imagine what downtown London could be if the vagrants were not so ubiquitous. The city centre is so critical for defining a city.
