Original Note:
This photo of a deserted Trafalgar Square was not taken as claimed on 27 April 2024 since Big Ben can be seen covered in scaffolding - removed in April 2022. The photo was probably taken during covid lockdown and this, not Brexit, is the reason for the absence of traffic. https://www.parliament.uk/about/living-heritage/building/palace/big-ben/elizabeth-tower-and-big-ben-conservation-works-2017-/ https://www.swlondoner.co.uk/news/01042022-big-ben-breaks-free-from-scaffolding-to-reveal-80m-restoration https://www.buildingcentre.co.uk/media/w1440/trafalgar-sq-sun.jpg
