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 Stay
Ten years after Ikea told British households to 'chuck out your chintz', London's hotels have followed suit. Prices are still steep, but old dames are updating and the rise of 'budget boutique' hotels is throwing affordable chic into the mix . Remember, where you hang your hat will flavour your impression of London, so consider location as well as luxury.
