Pickpocketing in London A local in London had saved me from a pickpocket. The Thames Embankment was surprisingly beautiful in early spring. There are a lot of walking people, flowering cherries, shimmering in the sun skyscrapers, and the beautiful St. Paul Cathedral. I was taking a lot of photos and finally lost my head at all on the Millennium Bridge. A kind person noticed that someone behind me was rummaging in my small bag, which was hanging on my shoulder. Just a couple of seconds and I would have lost some money or bank cards. I am very grateful to this person and promise to help foreigners in my place, too.
