Light bulbs shine in temporarily-closed bar in Kingly Court in the hospitality and nightlife hotspot of Soho in London, England, on November 18, 2020. Across England non-essential shops as well as bars, restaurants and other hospitality businesses remain closed as part of the country's second national coronavirus lockdown, begun on November 5 and set to expire on December 2. British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, who has indicated that he does not wish for the lockdown to be extended, meanwhile remains in self-isolation at Downing Street after coming into contact with an MP last Thursday who later tested positive for covid-19. The prime minister himself, who was hospitalised with a serious case of the illness in the spring, has tested negative.

Chairs stand on tables in the cafe section of a closed bakery on Kingly Street in the hospitality and nightlife hotspot of Soho in London, England, on March 21, 2020. Much of central London was virtually empty today, a day after British Prime Minister Boris Johnson ordered the closure of all pubs, bars, cafes and restaurants around the country. The move represents a toughening of measures to enforce the 'social distancing' that is being urged on citizens to reduce the growth of covid-19 coronavirus infections. Nightclubs, theatres, cinemas, gyms and leisure centres were also ordered closed. Some shops in the centre of capital remained open today, albeit mostly deserted of customers; many retailers however have temporarily closed their doors until the crisis abates.
