London's where I was brought up. It's where my heart is and where I get my inspiration.
Alexander McQueen
Image
London has been used as the emblematic English city, but it's far from representative of what life in England is actually about.
Alan Moore
Image
London, black as crows and noisy as ducks, prudish with all the vices in evidence, everlastingly drunk, in spite of ridiculous laws about drunkenness, immense, though it is really basically only a collection of scandal-mongering boroughs, vying with each other, ugly and dull, without any monuments except interminable docks.
Paul Verlaine
Image
London goes beyond any boundary or convention.It contains every wish or word ever spoken, every action or gesture ever made, every harsh or noble statement ever expressed. It is illimitable. It is Infinite London.
Peter Ackroyd
Image
London has fine museums, the British Library is one of the greatest library institutions in the world... It's got everything you want, really.
David Attenborough
Image
London is like the grave in one respect -- any man can make himself at home there and whenever a man finds himself homeless elsewhere, he had better either die or go to London.
Nathaniel Hawthorne
Image
London has now become almost like a gigantic frog! With its long tongue it draws curious insects from all over the world inside itself!

London is a roost for every bird.

Keith Murray

London opens to you like a novel itself. [...] It is divided into chapters, the chapters into scenes, the scenes into sentences it opens to you like a series of rooms, door, passsage, door. Mayfair to Piccadilly to Soho to the Strand.
Anna Quindlen
Image
London is one of the most civilised places in the world for the procedure of making architecture and urban design.
Renzo Piano
Image
London underground took me on a tour of all the hidden places, the disused shafts and staircases... that was very interesting.
Ruth Rendell
Image
London is a city that sleeps too much. This is the mould of its quality. A magnetic contract: to reinvent itself on the other side of dream, each day. And such dreams, smouldering against the tidal spine of the river, telling and retelling the tales that must be told to manifest a city's bones. Whispering the night architecture back into stone.
Iain Sinclair
Image
London in the '70s was a pretty catastrophic dump, I can tell you. We had every kind of industrial trouble we had severe energy problems we were under constant terrorist attack from Irish terrorist groups who had started a bombing campaign in English cities politics were fantastically polarized between left and right.
Ian Mcewan
Image
London is a huge, stony desert: even boredom feels endless there.
Sándor Márai
Image
London life was very full and exciting [...] But in London there would be no greenhouse with a glossy tank, and no apple-room, and no potting-shed, earthy and warm, with bunches of poppy heads hanging from the ceiling, and sunflower seeds in a wooden box, and bulbs in thick paper bags, and hanks of tarred string, and lavender drying on a tea-tray.
Sylvia Townsend Warner
Image
London is on the whole the most possible form of life.
Henry James
Image
London is one of the most enchanting places I've ever been on this planet.
Don Johnson

London is satisfied, Paris is resigned, but New York is always hopeful. Always it believes that something good is about to come off, and it must hurry to meet it.
Dorothy Parker
Image
London and the south-east of England are very crowded spaces. Wherever a new runway is placed, thousands will be affected. Residents in nearby Longford, Harmondsworth and Sipson, which lie to the north of Heathrow, face having their homes compulsorily purchased for land to build the new runway.
Tim Bowler
Image
London is satisfied, Paris is resigned, but New York is always hopeful.
Dorothy Parker
Image
London is a huge shop, with a hotel on the upper storeys.
