London is one of those cities which need a lifetime to get to know properly and in depth. This report is consequently, indeed, not more than 'impressions of London'. But still, many of the city's highlights are on record here, the result of a lot, a real lot of walking around in the streets, on the squares, along the Thames River, across the many bridges, taking in the views of landmarks and other highlights, also those which are less frequently visited, such as the Leadenhall Market and Ennismore Gardens. And while strolling around the city among people having a beer on the pub's sidewalk, rushing in and out of the underground entrance gates, going about their daily lives surrounded by monuments and traces of old and recent history, a very striking thing comes to mind: unlike in many other capital cities, ultramodern architectural development, for instance in the City and around the Tower, has harmoniously found its place right next to medieval and ancient edifices and structures. The ultimate indication of a city's dynamic and creative energy.
