With due apologies to Tintin’s bumchum Captain Haddock, if you had to define the philosophy of being ‘British’ in one word, ‘London’ takes top honours without even batting an eyelid. Yes, Hugh Grant would come a close second surely…The most populous city in Europe (7.5 million), London is now one of the top financial centers of the world. With over 50 races of people and 300 different spoken languages (according to the last London census), this is easily the most metropolitan city in the world! For the intrepid tourist, rather than enter London from the spectacular Heathrow Airport (the world’s busiest in terms of passenger traffic), one would suggest a sojourn from Paris through the 50 km long Channel Tunnel Train, of which 38 kms are actually underwater, making it the longest tunnel project in the world. While the Thames is definitely the most famous geographic expanse in London, a hop to Big Ben (the famous tower of the UK Houses of Parliament; better known as Palace of Westminster) comes out number one on the visitors’ rating scale. The 30 minute ‘tour’ of London on the British Airways London Eye, the world’s highest observation wheel provides astounding views of around 55 of London’s most famous landmarks. For the connoisseur, the National Gallery (displaying breathtaking paintings of Botticelli, Leonardo da Vinci, Rembrandt, Van Gogh and many others) and the prodigious National History Museum (displaying the rarest animals in the world; don’t miss the 40 million year old spider fossil) are the uppity icings.
The ladies for some retail therapy can take the world’s costliest cabs to some of the world’s swankiest shopping streets, including Oxford Street, Carnaby Street, Covent Garden, Soho and Islington; not forgetting Knightsbridge that has the world famous Harrods! Lakshmi Mittal’s residence at 18-19, Kensington Palace Gardens, is one of the world’s costliest properties. And before you leave this land of the high brow, may woe befall you if you miss our favourite Hammersmith Hospital in London. And why? Girls, that’s where Hugh Grant was born!
