“One thing about London is that when you step out into the night, it swallows you.” 
― Sebastian Faulks, Engleby

 

 

 

 

“This was London, in all its filth and glory. Nostalgic for the past, while yearning to cast off the chains of bygone ages and step forward into the bright utopia of the future. Proud of its achievements, yet despising its own flaws. A monster in both size and nature, that would consume the unwary and spit them out again, in forms unrecognizable and undreamt.

"London, the monster city”
