Just wondered, has there ever been any consideration given to
installing
more covers over walkways through busy pedestrian routes in London?
The
City becomes a nightmare at rush hour when it starts raining, you
can't
walk for people with ridiculously oversized comedy umbrellas.

The last landmark I can think of along those lines was when they took
them off the pavements of Regents St in the 1920s. The heritage
people still seem to be outraged about that.
