London will be “full to bursting” over the Coronation weekend as a huge influx of tourists, combined with celebratory spending by residents, gives an estimated £450 million boost to the capital’s retail and hospitality sectors.
Experts estimate that more than 30,000 extra foreign visitors — equivalent to the population of a town the size of Windsor — on top of what would normally be expected will enjoy “Coronation treat” visits to London.
