In his second article on re-visiting England, Mr. C. E. Wheeler describes some of the scenes in the London streets. Of our illustrations that on the top left is part of the area in Hyde Park where various opinions are expounded to the public. Top right shows a street singer and a collector 1 trying to coax coins from a row of houses. Bottom left is Mr. "Ed." Crocker, a well-known figure, who for 37 years has taken his stand at the foot of the Boadicea statue on the Embankment. He sells postcards and lets you look at Big Ben through his telescope. In the centre is a pavement artist, and on the right a queue of reserved camp stools at Drury Lane on the first night of "Cavalcade." The queue began to form 56 hours before the performance.
