London's financial district empty due to coronavirus

Description

London, Oct 16 (EFE).- (Camera: Enrique Rubio) There are few experiences of modern life as alienating as rush hour in the City of London, a life lesson in how to feel alone in a crowd, but the pandemic has slowed the pulse of the world’s financial heart and its busy streets are all but empty. Nobody quite knows when the British capital will return to normal. That is if it does at all. The restaurant Sweetings has served up oysters and fresh fish from its corner of the City for 131 years. It’s the oldest of its kind in London, according to the owners.FOOTAGE OF LONDON'S FINANCIAL DISTRICT.SOUNDBITES OF ADNAN AWAN, WORKER AT A PHONE REPAIR SHOP, AND GEORGE STYLIANOU, MANAGER AT THE SWEETINGS RESTAURANT.
