It can't be just after dawn, not everywhere anyway. Shadows in central
London (e.g. Nelson's Column) indicate that it's late morning, roughly
around 11:00. There's an event of some sort in Trafalgar Square. From
the works going on in Devonshire Road, Chiswick, I would say it was
around January or February this year. Colin says it must be a Sunday
morning. Between us on this NG, we ought to be able to pin it down to a
date.

Looking at the area close to my parents' place in NW11, the sun is in
the south-southwest, making it about 1-2pm, the shadows are long, and
the silver birch in their front garden has been removed.

I note my abode is *just* outside the area of the updated image, which
is at the NW9/HA8 frontier.
