High Number of Blocked Seats

Out of curiosity more than anything, does anyone know what the likely reason for the high number of blocked seats illustrated below. It is on BA1479 - DEP 0955 GLA - ARR 1125 LHR this Fri 16th Feb. Very large group booking perhaps?

C-W-S exclusion zone. Perfectly normal.

Thanks for the info. Still finding my way around EF. Don't think I have seen blocked seats on such a scale before.

It’s because there is a low load and they are trying to prevent everyone congregating the first few rows causing trim problems. Here are some of my own examples:
