Don't know if anons have already done a SV search for a match on the store fronts opposite the red bus for a match.
Look thru the windows of the red bus.
The window on the right seems to have promise. Lots of colors in there for a match.
They may change their shopfront displays often to bring customers in. Just an idea.
Maybe we can get lucky with a "window good".
omg. Did you go thru his entire London vid collection? Some great circumstantial weather documentation. God knows that Canuck is the absolute worst, I hesitate to say the word, (videographer) ever.
Someone take his camera away please.
Make God please give me credit and subtract the time I spent watching that poor bastard's videos, one including him pissing in a phone booth, which became a running joke after that.
I was looking for those shops across from the Red Bus stop. One vid. Got so close to getting a night pic of those souvenir shops across from the red bus pic. The guy walked up and down Covent Garden and go so close.

Saw them in that Canadian guy's vids. What do you have in mind? Red bus pic not necessarily Christmas 2013 then?
Could the decorations be just out of frame or should see them on Whitcomb St?
>The guy walked up and down Covent Garden and go so close.
Correction: s/b Coventry Street.
I agree. From the Canadian's vid on NYE, anons take note of the overhead decorations that are suspended across the street to where those shops would be that can be seen through the windows of Q's RED BUS pic. One can see in other vid caps that the decorations begin, the very least from the shop next door to the KFC reflected behind the the RED BUS.
See some vid caps I made of the Canadian vid.
So I guess we are thinking Q's RED BUS pic was not taken when Christmas 2013 decorations were up.
Anon, I think we might be on to something in the shops behind the RED BUS in Q's pic.
Look at the color scheme of the MONEY EXCHANGE. Current and NYE color scheme: Blue.
But the shop where the currency exchange should be, and as seem thru the windows of the RED BUS, seems to have an alternating blue and yellow color scheme. What do anons think? Possible they could have changed their corporate color theme? That would, if true, indicate an earlier date. As the current company signage is the same as the 2013 color scheme. Thoughts?
SV and Wayback?
Suppose I should have posted a cap of the Money Exchange for comparison to the color scheme seen thru the window of the Red Bus in Q's pic. Imho, that is where the Money Exchange is. But they do not appear to match.
Y"Ass sir! We got this! Which date do you prefer for the Embankment pics, sir? Christmas, Christmas Eve, or Boxing Day sir? We favor Christmas Day.
Yes, I saw the yellow sign on that nextdoor shop. I am looking for alternating Blue and yellow at the location of the Money Exchange. See pic. Prev. another business? Or they changed their color scheme. See cap
That's not the same angle for the building that you are using. I showed how it was two windows from the corner. Even if not exactly from the corner but from Pret a Manger, 2 windows over is over the Money Exchange.
Thank you, Anons. Well, just by the two pictures you have posted, it appears we have found a MARKER for the MONEY EXCHANGE. Hmm Maybe the store front has had other changes.
>The question, in that sense, would not be when but what event.
For the Q drop re Hyde Park, I disagree. In this case, I think it's a "questions provide answers" situation. The context/location was Hyde Park. And Q, by asking what occurs in December, was telling us WW occurred in December(and not November or January). imho
Now can Q be asking about OTHER events in December as well? Of course.
Dropping a cap of the Canadian's vid on NYE. No blue strip on post between the 2 Money Exchange windows.
Do anons think RED BUS may show a blue strip on the post between the 2 windows? A possible marker?
>What are the dates for these pics you have analyzed, anon?
One was submitted by another anon as a cap from a vid from 12OCT2018
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2pCTSKTUPFA
The other pics were submitted by you.
The vid caps I posted were from one of the Canadian vids at Piccadilly on NYE 2014.
A recent observation is a large mirror on the wall of the Money Exchange (left side)which could have been reflecting something yellow. There is also a lot of stainless steel cladding on the post between the two openings and inside. Reflective.
That's a good stock photo with some blue and yellow in it. And the graphic on the bus stop sign is a marker for after October and pic showing the change yet (before?) evidence of the construction was to begin in December 2013? So work probly just not visible at early stage.
A quite nice video. Very good work.
>UK Baker here, I am still here and keeping things going. I am watching things progress but am getting a bit lost in the current London Pics dig.
Very nice to hear from you Baker. Your comment about getting lost in the current dig brought a smile. Only because it implies the progress and how unexpected it was. I recall the sudden progress around the EMB pics being on or about 2013 Christmas (+/- 1 day) was made while digging for open source stock photos on the pink/purple building seen at Albert Embankment in the 24LONDON pic match for MILLBANK lights. About the same time, an anon also found that picture match (pic dated 22DEC2013) for the sidewalk sign board seen in ROT1. Then came the Getty stock pics of Christmas which match the MILLBANK lights. Since then, we had been trying to use process of elimination to remove rainy/bad weather days from consideration because our Q pics show dry conditions for the most part. That involved looking at he weather and wind conditions during Christmas week.
Currently we are taking a break from EMB to turn fresh eyes on Piccadilly.
Nice to have you back, Baker.
Was thinking of the same possibility looking for yellow reflections within the existing blue theme of the Money Exchange. There is a wall mirror in the left opening, no doubt it is there for security for persons using an atm machine. One on each side, yes? Plus all the reflective stainless steel around the openings. And what about the shops next door? Think there is anything to be gleaned there?
>Spot the shills.
Over target.
