Lovely quiet 12 mile ride around London this morning between 8a-9am to make up for the lost commute.
Taxis ranks full everywhere. Didn't see a passenger in a single taxi that was moving. Busses 90% empty. Chatting to the bus drivers at lights was nice - they mostly expect to see buses move to something closer to Sunday schedules next week. They don't know what will happen if they are not scheduled to drive.
Lots of restaurants/cafes closed. Very few bikes out. Parks rammed full of joggers.
At 9:15, Iceland on Rye Lane (Peckham) was operating on a one in - one out basis. Huge queue there, at the Boots, Superdrug and Poundshop. Fresh veg places deserted strangely as were the butchers / fish places. Greengrocer and butcher closer to home pretty well stocked but few customers.
