'Change of Shoe at EC2'

A black and white photograph taken on Threadneedle Street near to Bartholomew Lane, London, EC2, UK. A street scene, and at the left of frame, two women are seated on a bench, outside a shop window, where they are changing their shoes - presumably for something a little more comfortable. Across the road are a few pedestrians and a couple of vehicles turning left out of Bartholomew Lane. At right of frame is a guy, in a suit, looking into his mobile device, he may or may be not be waiting for the two women changing shoes. Oh, I couldn't avoid the cyclist pedalling along from ending up behind the guy in the suit or I'd have missed the moment.
