'GoT''s White Walkers Invade London

With Game of Thrones kicking off season 7 on HBO in the U.S. this weekend, fans worldwide are gearing up for the return of the hit show to see the latest twists and turns in the battle for the Iron Throne.
HBO already brought winter to downtown L.A. for the season premiere. And networks around the globe have been promoting the launch date of the new season, some with marketing stunts using key characters of the drama based on George R.R. Martin's best-selling book series.
Winter arrived early in Great Britain. Fans and passersby in London may have shocked this week when they spotted The Night King descending on the capital on horseback from Hadrian’s Wall, joined by a troop of White Walkers.
Sky, which airs the show in the U.K., spoke of sightings at such London tourist attractions as Oxford Circus, Tower Bridge, The Tower of London and Buckingham Palace. The stunt was designed to promote the return of Game of Thrones to Sky's Sky Atlantic network and Now TV streaming service on Monday, July 17.
