UK - London - Begging girl and street sweeper

A young woman begs on London Bridge, sitting on the pavement to read her newspaper as a cleaning contractor sucks up litter around her. The girl doesn't move from her place on the pavement at the northern end of the crossing across the Thames, a busy thoroughfare taking commuters to the southern side mainline station - and a favoured spot for beggars asking for loose change. She reads the latest edition of the Evening Standard, London's free tabloid newspaper. Passing her is the workman who points his large vacuum tube that removes street rubbish.
