I love London for its life and for its many facets.
The (to me) nonsensicsal Pearly Kings and Queens, seemed just costumed jokes, until I found out what they stood for, and their history, from wartime till now.
The fact that St.Bart's Hospital has still standing stones from 1123, and has been giving care since then. Yes, 1123.
Walking under the Thames in the Greenwich tunnel, is really romantic, and visiting the adjacent Painted Halls, is a special treat.
I love the blackness of Brixton, the africanness of Peckham, the asianness of Southall, Wembley and East Ham, the braying horses of Kings Road and Sloane Square greeting the unwashed like me with a "air-hair-lair".
Its the differences I love, the history too. The vibes of Camden, the old pubs, and the cycling scene. Except BMMF. He's not a pub.
There is another place I love more, but London is unmatchable, and I've lived all over the place.
