London. Who hasn't seen images of the bright red double decker
buses, the Beefeaters at Buckingham Palace, Big Ben overlooking
the Thames, and wondered what it's really all about?
It's grand and glamourous for one, with gorgeous expanses of
park, superb Victorian architecture, more galleries than can be
listed and a glitzy restaurant and theatre land to rival that
of New York and Paris. But in one of the oldest industrial and
imperial cities of the world, you also have to expect crowds,
pollution and expense.
Somehow it's the bustle that shows you London at its best though:
street markets, buskers, old book and antique sellers form a fusion
of cultures and characters that will capture a little piece of
your heart. |
