London's famous London

I love London because:

its big and sprawling, yet small and intimate at the same time,
the roads twist and turn, with no pattern,
when I cross a bridge any bridge heading south I know I'm home,
you get council estate beside georgian town houses, besides masionettes, beside victorian terraces
you've got open house in sept where all the magnificient buildings right across the big smoke are open to everyone
it doesn't care where your from, or where your going to, because when your here, your a londoner
night rides round richmond park
summer days on clapham common filled to bursting with people enjoying the sunshine, cause they don't have a garden big enough to swing a cat in.
good times at carnival, block up, listening to good tunes and get red eye
if i can decipher and travel on the tube I can travel on any underground/metro system in the world,
the people are politer than you think
people all over want to come to london's famous london to experience what I get to see everyday,
a forum like this exists that spreads the joys of london to even more people,
I was born and raised here,
of misty mornings riding through battersea park and over battersea bridge and not being able to see albert bridge
its full of rich and poor and all those in between
there's madness on the streets and how you deal with it says more about you than you think
no matter how many gated communities they build, you've still got to come out of your front door and engage with the area in which you've chosen to live,
the henry moore sculpture exhibition in kew gardens took my breath away,
as did antony gormley's figures on waterloo bridge and the london skyline,
because even though we want to be european, and have a cafe culture, we don't get enough sun to truly pull it off, but we keep trying
when people slag it off, I want to have a go at them, I'm prouder and more protective of london the city than I am of my own physical home.
