BBC newsreader Sophie Raworth shares photos of deserted London
BBC newsreader Sophie Raworth has shared several photos of London during the lockdown period.
Raworth is still working at the BBC and runs to and from work.
On her route she has been taking snap shots of iconic London landmarks which would usually be busy with workers and tourists. But with travel bans and isolation rules imposed the capital city is eerily quiet.
She wrote a piece for the BBC describing her experience of being in London at this time.
She said: "I have always loved the buzz of London, the cacophony of voices from all over the world, and now suddenly it has all gone.
"Waterloo, Paddington, St Pancras - some of London's busiest main train stations - through which millions of people pour every day.
"Now there are just a few passengers milling around looking a little lost, and railway staff, in their fluorescent jackets eyeing me quizzically, then smiling and waving as I run past."
Here are some of the shots she has posted to her Instagram.
