Park Royal station in London is criticized for its poor pedestrian access, presenting a jarring transition from its quaint entrance to a busy dual carriageway. The article discusses a small protest related to US politics that took place nearby, highlighting the amusing dynamic of honks from cars in response to activists holding signs against billionaires. Despite the protest's small scale, the participants displayed resilience and humor. Observers noted that the honks provided an ephemeral yet uplifting encouragement to those involved, contrasting typical political despair with a buoyant community spirit.
"There is no obvious way to cross the road. This place was built for cars, and if you're not a car, you're stuck in a tube station now."
"The feedback mechanism of a honk is quite ephemeral, isn't it? said an anthropologist who had declined to be interviewed."
