Abandoned London

These are some great scenes, ive reposted on my blog.

Ian said in 28 days later they closed of streets where as im sure ive read somewhere, or maybe it was on the film commentary, that because the film budget was so low (it was a British Film Council film), they actually did the same thing Ian did and shot a lot of the scenes in the early hours of the morning in London, where these kind of scenes arent too uncommon even on normal days.

if im wrong please feed free to correct me.

Go to Pompeii first thing in the morning before all the other tourists arrive.

I'd like to see more other famous cities like this.

How funny would it have been if there were TWO people who had this same idea???

Jeanette - It is. I used to live in London in the 80s and early on a Sunday morning it's empty. The City is deserted at weekends - you could walk for half an hour and not see anyone except security behind their plateglass frontages.
Different since the Baltic Exchange bombings - when I last went through the City there were police checkpoints. Dunno if they're still there.
I used to get to the British Museum at opening time and headed for the deeper recesses before the crowds arrived - bliss.
