This is the first in a series of city profiles, a detailed , in this case running 3,000 words, and some 100 photographs with informative captions, accurately depict the lifestyle, culture, atmosphere and tourist sights of major urban centres. A metropolis like London for its vibrant cultural life and cosmopolitan nature seemed like the ideal starting point. It is also a fascinating city to observe as it is forever changing, pragmatically moving forwards. I know what I'm talking about, I'm a British citizen, I spent ten years of my life in London before moving to Italy and returned regularly over the following three decades or so watching the British capital evolve, adapt and transform, most of it for the better in my opinion as a seasoned travel writer/photographer.
