London, endures

by Orbital_ - last update: Jul 12, 2005

Global powerhouse, cultural melting pot...

Boudicca and the reinvention of the wheel…
If you're reading these pages it's because you've been to London and want to see my angle on it, or some part of you longs to visit. I won't waste your time waxing lyrical about this most complex of cities; but I hope to justify that London still more than earns it's place alongside other global capitals like New York and Paris. It continues to remix the old, the blisteringly new with a wonderfully British and multi-cultural spin.
If you're hesitating about visiting since the awful events of July 7th, then please, don't. Would you have the same hesitation about New York or Madrid now all these months later?

Come, discover that our differences in fact bind us together.
International icon and bloody useful timepiece
Whenever I pass through the capital for work or pleasure I always uncover another layer to this incredible city.

Pros:"World-class arts & cultural attractions, historical treasures, stunning new architecture, fabulous districts and an intimidating wealth of entertainment options"
Cons:"The eternally high prices but also London's somewhat skewed and unrepresentative portrait of the rest of the nation"
In A Nutshell:"You'll be pleasantly suprised that there's more to the place than Beefeaters and Royalty..."

 So sorry I've been MIA lately. I can't explain why even. Life is just flying by... OK, OK... back on track. Saw Louis XIV a couple weeks ago, and The Bravery again in South Beach, Miami at a benefit show. Both were great... You?

 Fantastic London page Ingmar! (and I am still LOL at the "some manner of cross-cultural existentialist orgy" comment on your home page :)))
