City Hall litter

Between City Hall and Tower Bridge are a set of world famous images. I just took a few snaps. The Mayor of LondON and Southwark Council must be proud: City HallExhibition Gherkin St Paul's/HMS Belfast The Tower of London

This was my fear when Potters Field park re-opened, that still no solution would have been created for the amount of litter as your photos excellently reveal.

Though it would appear that most of these bins are on More London property and therefore I think it is their responsibility.

I walk along there every day at 7am on the way to work. I always see at least 3 guys emptying the bins and using machines to keep the walk way clean.

I suspect the bins have not been emptied because of the bank holiday.

I am not excuses the mess - just pointing out that for 99.99% of the time the area is kept clean.

It's been the same for ages. I don't know if it's More London between City Hall and Tower Bridge. More London seems to tend their area very well, but who cares? Even if there is some fascinating bureaucratic excuse, it's the Mayor's job to get it fixed. He can see it from his window after all.

Not at weekends between City Hall and Tower Bridge.

"On the way to work" = a work day, not weekends

If there's something positive here, it's that at least people are trying to use the bins rather than just leaving litter everywhere.

Why don't they just provide more bins?

Yes. It's impressive how tourists try to compensate for British indifference to the settings of our own symbols. Maybe the answer is to pay the Tower Bridge beggars to clean the place up at weekends. This evening the bins and piles of garbage by the river had been cleared, but not the identical bins in Potters Field.
