Barcelona Comes To London
I took these pictures in Trafalgar Square before the match.
Everything was very good-natured. It also seemed to be more about photography, singing and hsving a good time than excessive consumption of alcohol.
It was very busy in Charing Cross station, but where were the signs in Spanish/Catalan. There seemed to be a degree of crowding as fans tried to work out how to get tickets to Wembley.
London should get this right before the Olympics. But then we don’t need to, as all foreigners speak English. Don’t they?

I don’t know if you caught this, but chiltern railways did their bit for the final. It seems simple, and I hope it worked.

We have to realise that London can make a lot of money by treating tourists correctly. Appropriate multi-language signs and machines are one way. London Underground were doing nothing. So hats off to Chiltern Railways
