Big Ben's Big Brother


I was also amused by the designation of The *Royal Borough* of Kensington and Chelsea.More from Notting Hill. When I took this shot I had no conscious awareness of the appliance at bottom right -- the one watching me and everybody else. You know, London has more police surveillance cameras than any city in the world, and I think I've found one of them right here. (I just took the photo in case I should need to retrace my steps on my way back to the tube station.)
Notice how few stories the buildings have here; the density here is quite low. (Maybe that's what makes it *Royal*?) Depending on the width of its angle of rotation, these folks enjoying the morning sun could well be under surveillance by that police camera ... in addition to my own. They don't seem to mind in either case.
