‘Game of Thrones’ White Walkers Ride Into London and Other Brilliant Marketing Stunts

In advance of the Game of Thrones Season 7 premiere, a group of actors dressed as White Walkers invaded central London. The White Walkers were led by the Night King on horseback. They walked over Tower Bridge and on the streets of Oxford Circus, and they even posed in front of Buckingham Palace.
