London before and after the olympic opening ceremony felt like London during Christmas - the airport and the streets were quiet. The Hyde Park at noon was peaceful and the Tube was exceptionally empty. Every now and then you would spot a crowd of olympic games visitors, a uniformed London 2012 volunteer, some related street artists or buses of athletes. Much more often, you could embrace the city almost by yourself!
Ps: Christoph Niemann at Abstract Sunday Blog is covering the olympic games.
