The animals in St. James’s Park, London SW1 have the tourists trained to offer food in exchange for cute photos. But it’s snowing and the tricks aren’t working...
Treats for cute photos, that’s the deal in St. James’s Park, London SW1. Pink wellies or fluffy winter fur (squirrel hands curled up against the cold) surely get a treat! But the few office workers still in Central London and taking their lunch break in the frozen park are reading the signs saying “Please don’t feed the animals”; as can I, taking an exercise walk to fill in time before a medical appointment. So as there aren’t tourists at the moment, the animals in the snow are left offering their best cute begging poses whilst looking disdainfully at their public as only Royal Parks animals can.
