There are no HDR haloes and the saturation is only high in the greens. I think you're just comparing two pictures, one of which has bright green in and feeling weird about it.
The top image is a sunny day; the bottom is cloudy. (Look at the shadows). The exposure in the bottom image is much brighter - you can also see this from the appearance of the building on the left - dark in the top image, light in the bottom image.
This has nothing to do with pushing saturation; it's just a different (better) exposed photo. People throw terms like saturation and HDR around willy nilly.
I wandered down there just the other week, probably hadn’t been there since Covid and man, if there was ever a living, breathing reason to pedestrianise central London much as possible, this is it. It is really serene, relaxing and a pleasant spot to be.
It used to be one of those places you’d only walk past if you **had to **.

Its a good change, but these pictures man......having HDR and saturation dialled to 100 in the lower picture is unnecessary.

I think the first pic is from good street view. The second could well be default settings on whatever the camera model was.

Sky is roughly the same value, buildings are way brighter in the bottom image.

Fair enough! I just saw the differences and commented without thinking.

Oversaturated greenery with grey concrete makes it kinda post apocalyptic. I.e. typical London.
