I have seen the West End, the parks, the fine squares; but I love the City far better . . . The City is getting its living – the West End but enjoying its pleasure. At the West End you may be amused; but in the City you are deeply excited.

Charlotte Brontë (1816-1856), Villette
Considering she was from Yorkshire, she soon managed to get the measure of London.
Best wishes, Pete.
