Topless in the Park

It's been quite warm and sunny in London while we've been here. Thus, there have been many people sunbathing in the wonderful parks of this great city. However, it is quite common for British women to not wear bikini tops but instead to simply sunbathe in their bras. I was really surprised to see this and even more surprised to see how common this is. Often, one will see a woman just taking off her shirt or the top of her sundress to strip down to her waist to get some color. Even though there's physically no difference in that which is covered by a bikini top or a bra, I'd be less disconcerted if, prior to getting some sun, British women planned ahead and put on a swimsuit.
