As they now walked the streets of London, it seemed that the whole place was abuzz and the streets were busier than what you would usually expect from a city. And Joan and Roland, the two people who had been there themselves, could attest that London was relatively one of the calmest major cities in the world.
Sure there's always no end to the sights to see and the places to go to. But it's not as loud as when Harker went to Las Vegas, and people tend to be enjoying the more 'refined' side of luxury. They enjoyed going to neat little pubs rather than party clubs, and Harker found more old people strolling in parks or academics in turtlenecks more than any place he had been to before.
London has an air of reservation and even sometimes gloominess, and so being rowdy wasn't common unless there's an event.
And there was. Roland soon realized it as he saw all the paparazzis and cameramen following a bunch of celebrities, some unfamiliar and some quite popular.
