Sign of the times

I walked through Covent Garden today and it seemed odd to see a shop (Nine West) closed in such a prime location. There were quite a few people that were surprised walking past; a few were obviously disappointed thinking they were about to buy a pair of shoes and couldn't. I had no idea Nine West had gone into administration. I got a few odd stares and comments taking photos of the shop front. One guy thought I was looking to rent the premises.
