Rollerblading in the London Silence

Hyde Park has a section where people rollerblade. Central Park in New York also has a section where people rollerblade, but there is a crucial difference. The people in New York are jammin. The music is blasting and the rollerbladers are dancing.

There's no music in London. It's weird. The entire time I was in London and Oxford, I don't recall a single store with music blaring out. I came across one vehicle in Oxford that was politely blaring the car stereo (just loud enough for it to seep out the car windows).

Coming from Miami, where everything is done to a soundtrack of blasting stereos, it seems bizarre to me. Life without music just isn't life.
