UK - London - Sleeping man fiddles with touch pad phone

During a weekday lunchtime in the City of London, a young man sleeps on the grass in St. Paul's Churchyard, near the outer walls of the cathedral. Office workers have gathered with friends and colleagues taking advantage of warm weather to lie on the grass and eat their lunches. The man is asleep on the short lawn, having spent 20 minutes fiddling with his iPhone, scrolling through messages and sending emails after finishing his own sandwich, which has been put away next to his prone body, in a plastic bag. A council worker pushes a wheelbarrow along the path laden with refuse as the young man lies resting before another afternoon at his nearby desk.
