Here one of the cleaner's rights activists is protest-cleaning the window of the TfL headquarters while below in the reflection through the glass commuters can be seen buzzing around the tube gates at St James Park. Taken on 28th June 2008 on the morning of the Tube cleaners' strike. The direct action asked TfL to "Clean up your act" and the protesters set to work cleaning the lobby while calling out the demands of the tube cleaners strike.
