Slow Down London is a project to get Londoners to adopt a slower pace, at least for a week. The campaign runs from April 24 to May 4 and has events around the city designed to get people to slow down and enjoy the moment.
Part of the campaign includes a Slow Exposure Photo Contest designed to encourage Londoners to pause and look about them. Some of the photos are stunning.
Apparently no one told Kenya’s Sammy Wanjiru about the Slow Down London campaign. He won the London Marathon today in record time. http://www.guardian.co.uk/sport/2009/apr/26/sammy-wanjiru-wins-london-marathon
