London, they say, is a place for all seasons and for all tastes. Poets have described it millions of times, photographers have taken shots everywhere. What is the secret? Definitely not the weather – it is rainy and foggy most of the time; cold, windy and drizzly very often. They say summer lasts one week only! London has also the typical characteristics of very big cities – pollution, noise and violence.

What is then so attractive about London? What makes people enjoy living there or want to go back there again and again? Perhaps the respect one finds for individuality is one of the reasons. In London, everyone can be unique and can be the way he feels well. For example, it is common to see foreign people dressed in the most creative and particular ways, in typical clothes of their countries of the origin and the Londoners themselves, whose hair may be naturally coloured or dyed in red, pink, purple and green!

Traditions like the Royal Family or the changing of the guard; cultural life with concerts, theatres and a great number of museums; tourist sights like St. Paul‟s Cathedral, the Big Ben, Buckingham Palace and the wonderful parks, make this city unforgettable, leaving the impression in your mind: „‟I‟ve just been to London!”
