LONDON BY LONELY PLANET

What can be said about London that hasn't been said so many times before? That the grand resonance of its very name suggests history and might? That it is the premier city in Europe in terms of size, population and per-capita wealth? That its opportunities for entertainment by day and night go on and on and on? London exhilarates and intimidates, stimulates and irritates. It offers different things to different people - in abundance.
