I’ve been walking about London for the last 30 years, and I find something fresh in it everyday.

Walter Besant (1836-1901)

Aesthetically, London is just beautiful; it’s a gorgeous city. The architecture, monuments, the parks, the small streets – it’s an incredible place to be.

Sara Bareilles (b.1979)

The interesting thing about London is that there are always stylish surprises around every corner.

Natalie Massenet (b.1965)

I went to London because, for me, it was the home of literature. I went there because of Dickens and Shakespeare.

Ben Okri (b.1959)

When exploring London, you will come across lots of excitement by chance, so try to take everything in rather than just rushing around to all of the major tourist haunts.

Richard Branson (b.1950)
