Описание: Though not actually benches but wide window ledges on the huge Primark Store at 499-517 Oxford Street, W1K 7DA. At first glance the line of mannequins in the store window display made me think of people queuing for buses. Except that the mannequins seem to be identical and none of them looks at a mobile phone. ____________ I liked the way the store windows mirror Oxford Street. _____________________________________ Useful & possibly interesting links § The Bench Project - How people use odd places.
