Strangely, it is the Thames Embankment, not far from the Houses of Parliament. But there is one road where the homeless are allowed to sleep. So you are at liberty to spend the night in the street, providing it is a sleepless night. That is because it has been found that a sleeping man succumbs to the cold more easily than a man who is awake, and England could not let one of her sons die in the street.

If the policeman on his beat finds you asleep, it is his duty to wake you up. Moreover sleeping in the open is only allowed in one thoroughfare in London. Spending the night out of doors has nothing attractive about it in London, especially for a poor, ragged, undernourished wretch.It appears to me that one defeats the fanatic precisely by not being a fanatic oneself, but on the contrary by using one's intelligence.
