I’ve no idea what inspired someone to get out a pot of a paint and a brush and carefully write out the words Elvis on the pavement, but this is the scene on Goodge Street, London on 15th June, 2002.
Maybe it was the parting gesture of the guy who painted the traffic lines?

There used to be a great Elvis themed bar on Tottenham Court Road, up towards Goodge Street station. I think it would have been long closed by 2002, but maybe it was a reference to that?
