London's contrasts and cacophonies both infuriate and seduce.
London - the grand resonance of its very name suggests history and might. Its opportunities for entertainment by day and night go on and on and on. It's a city that exhilarates and intimidates, stimulates and irritates in equal measure, a grubby Monopoly board studded with stellar sights.
It's a cosmopolitan mix of Third and First Worlds, chauffeurs and beggars, the stubbornly traditional and the proudly avant-garde. But somehow - between 'er Majesty and Pete Doherty, Bow Bells and Big Ben, the Tate Modern and the 2012 Olympics - it all hangs together.
Where to Eat
There is no denying London food has taken a turn for the better with the advent of high-profile chefs like Gordon Ramsay steering palates in innovative directions. However, trying to snag a reasonable meal without being left sucking on the lint of your empty pockets is still a challenge. Avoid the tourist trap chains and keep an ear out for local favourites.
