Yes usually very quiet with most shops and restaurants etc closing quite early. A bit depressing actually.

It usually gets very quiet, and it's my absolute favourite time of the year in the city.

As people say, there are likely to be more people around this year, but generally there are only a few places open, streets are Sunday-morning-quiet, and people are few are far between.

But everything is luscious and green, parks are open and perfectly quiet, picnics, afternoon swims, and sundowners are the order of the day. If you have good company to share them with, that just makes it all so much better.
