“By seeing London, I have seen as much of life as the world can show.”
– Samuel Johnson, 1773, as quoted by James Boswell in The Life of Samuel Johnson, 1791
Waiting for gold hours I was walking via streets of London. I have met so interesting pictures of the life of London.
“The City is a world within itself.
Centred in the heart of the metropolis, with its innumerable capacities
for commercial pursuits, it presents at first sight, to a stranger, a
most mysterious and unfathomable labyrinth of lanes and alleys, streets
and courts, of lanes thronged with bustling multitude whose various
occupations, though uniting in one grand whole, seem to have no direct
association with each other.”
– D. Morrier Evans, The City, 1852
