When I heard that they had covered Trafalgar Square in grass my reaction was that it was a ghastly gimmick. But having seen it, I’ve got to admit that it looks fantastic. Even though the weather hasn’t been the best in London these past few days, it has created the best type of summer-time ambience: think university once exams are over. Sadly, they’re getting rid of the turf tomorrow. But they really should keep the new look for the summer. After all, the London Eye was only meant to be a temporary structure and its now a beloved part of the Westminster skyline.
