I was sat enjoying a Starbucks one evening at about 6pm, it was the usual scene with hundreds of commuters buzzing about, rushing to get home.
Then a young couple who seemed to be headed for the station obviously got distracted by the piano. They proceeded to take turns playing anything from Chopin to Michael Buble, and it was absolutely lovely! It really made my day and I'm sure it entertained those who passed by. I congratulated them as they got up to leave (an hour later!) but I just wanted to leave a message on here in case they ever saw it! It does however make me wish that the pianos could 'visit' every summer as it is such a welcome installation that can really bring Londoners together.
