Piano music in London
« on: July 12, 2009, 05:25:29 PM »
Anyone get any photos of the Piano's in London being played by passers by?  Saw a great piece about this on "CBS Sunday Morning" and wishing I had been there to take some shots...hoping some "filmwaster" took this opportunity!

I probably should go visit the one just outside the LEON restaurant for more photo opportunities to embarrass Leon.

Oh my gosh! That would be so cool!  I am so envious of anyone and everyone who is getting to enjoy this opportunity!

I saw the segment too this morning...
Too bad they can't do anything remotely close around here without having it entirely trashed on the first night...

That's why the great majority of them are locked up at night in London. Only available to play between 10am and 9pm or various other times depending on piano

Click on the names next to the map to get more info on the specific piano and some pictures of the piano in use usually.

I just thought it was to prevent people from waking-up the entire neighborhood :)
