O Proper London !
Dull would he truly be of soul who did not prefer its faded splendours, its new hesitancies, to the hot certainties of that transatlantic New Rome with its Nazified architectural gigantism , which employed the impressions of size to make its human occupants feel like worms.
London, in spite of an increase of excresences like Nat West tower, a corporate logo extruded into the third dimension, preserved the human scale.
When shes up at Leicester Square
She dont wear no underwear
S Rushdie The Satanic Verses
