London, United Kingdom

"When a man is tired of London, he is tired of life," said Samuel Johnson to his biographer, James Boswell in 1777, and nothing much has changed since then. The UK's capital is still one of the world's great metropolises, rich in history, innovation and extroversion. The pace is fast, but not New York manic; the culture is rich, but not Paris intense and the natives sometimes smile back - even on the Tube. Take an umbrella, buy a travelcard and sweep from cozy neighborhood to grand square, from the Tower to the Tate. Evenings are a smorgasbord of shows, clubs, hip bars, traditional pubs and sophisticated restaurants (but don't expect an all-night party - the Brits are still getting their heads around the 24-hour drinking law, and it's still hard to get a beer after midnight). Tirelessly, the city wriggles within the confines of the M25 ring road. London - a perfectly lacquered money magnet in the center, a creative and heaving ethnic hotchpotch on the fringes - has hopelessly outgrown its britches. Space - any space at all - is a highly priced commodity. The average traffic speed is lower than in horse and cart days, yet London's pulse races faster than ever. Every flavor under the sun is present: at least one eatery from every country on the globe squeezes in somewhere. Village-like boroughs lace cozy comforts into this metropolis of 18 million. The cityscape of imperial masterpieces is peppered with new money palaces, as well as the odd boarded-up and decaying corner. Royal razzmatazz polishes up the image wherever it may be tarnished. No city in Europe is more visited, more loved and more loathed by those who have been squeezed through its relentless mill.
