London is one of the most intense melting pots in the world. After English, there is such a collection of languages spoken here, and in such numbers, that one would think Greater London a union of small nations. You should be no more surprised at hearing 20 tongues exchanging opinions at a Tube station than you would in confronting a tiny populace of the same religion, ethnicity, nationality, or political bend marching or assembling in London's parks or squares.
