I’m used to working around tourists, including Westminster. One office is just south of Parliament, I also have sites on the river at horse guards, at Trafalgar Square, near Westminster abbey, and in Downing Street, as well as other tourist locations like Buckingham place, the strand

Working on a few days surrounding the queens funeral was a pain - got stuck near Westminster tube for half an hour, got stuck the wrong side of the mall for a while, but on the whole I find very little impact.

The tourist amenities are on the whole scaled appropriately.

The problem with cruise ships is they dump a thousand people into a small town, they spend very little, use all the space, clog the main instagram landmark, then leave.

A normal tourist visiting the city would have several nights in a hotel, be eating lunch and dinner out, be visiting multiple attractions. This brings more money into the city, spreads them out across different sites, and is naturally limited by the availability of hotels.

Bring your own hotel breaks this model.
