Reverend James Ogley leads parishioners as they sing hymns during the Even Song, outside St Paul's Cathedral in central London, Wednesday, Oct. 26, 2011. The Even Song is usually performed in the Cathedral, but the people now perform it in the piazza outside, because the Cathedral remains closed, due to the anti-corporate protest camp in its grounds. London's protest camp has become a tourist attraction — one that has shut down the landmark St. Paul's Cathedral. The Cathedral has welcomed visitors for 300 years, but for almost a week its heavy oak doors have been shut, locked because of an anti-capitalist protest camp outside the landmark building. Church officials say the campsite is a health hazard, but the protesters are settling in for a long stay. (AP Photo/Lefteris Pitarakis)
