I wonder what will be left once people are somewhat freer to move around. Leadenhall Market was always full of workers grabbing a quick sandwich or drink, maybe seeing people in the restaurants around the first floors of the market.

I can’t do the purple violet thing either, Jo. And I’m not normally a fan of Leadenhall. This historic market is now full of chain retail like Hobbs and Barbour. But at the moment eating and drinking is taking priority. Works for me!
