mum in the tube

My parents have paid a little visit to london - obviously, it has been raining during all their stay...

What is astonishing for french people visiting London?

• people eating in the street
• huge contrast of architecture and standard of living between areas very close to each others
• people dressed badly in general
• stunning cars everywhere
• how mixed the crowd is.
• how high the prices are behind the estate agents windows!
• how calm the streets are (except leicester square obviously ..)
• how badly maintained the tube is :

Monsieur, my ticket is stuck!
