Seven mysterious cowboys use bike stands to tie up their horses in London

A group of mysterious cowboys have been caught gallivanted through London this week.

The seven riders were first spotted in the dead of the night on Thursday in the "Wild" West End and have since been seen charging across busy roads, tieing their animals to Santander bike stands and relaxing in London parks.

However, this is not a western style coup or a gun showdown, but is part of a publicity stunt to promote the new film 'The Magnificent Seven' which will hit the big screens on Friday starring Denzel Washington, Ethan Hawke and Chris Pratt.
