This is what Chinatown in London looks like on a Saturday evening in July. A sea of tourists as far as the eye can see, which isn’t very far unless you’re tall.

Chinatown was our last destination in London last year, but I think from the photo it’s obvious where we were. Lanterns and the T-shirt this woman was wearing make that clear!

While the Haidilao facade throws everything it has at the pavement, all pandas and beer mugs and flashing Chinese characters competing for attention, this man just leans there in quiet command: blazer, open collar, white trousers, flat cap, phone in hand, utterly unbothered. He doesn’t need to compete with the lights because he’s already won.
