Christmas Eve in London

Who knew that Christmas Eve would be a good day for shopping? Most shops already had sales and were fairly empty except for all of Oxford Street. For those of who had to work on this day, the tubes in the morning were pleasantly quiet with plenty of seats available. And since half of London had vacated to their homes outside of London (or decided to stay indoors), there was suddenly more room everywhere!
