“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” 

― Marie Brennan, With Fate Conspire

“Paris is a woman but London is an independent man puffing his pipe in a pub.” ― Jack Kerouac, Lonesome Traveler

"Oh, London is a man’s town, there’s power in the air;And Paris is a woman’s town, with flowers in her hair; And it’s sweet to dream in Venice, and it’s great to study Rome;But when it comes to living, there is no place like home."

"People who talk of the spread of music in England and the increasing love of it, rarely seem to know where the growth of the art is really strong and properly fostered: some day the press will awake to the fact, already known abroad and to some few of us in England, that the living centre of music in Great Britain is not London, but somewhere further North."

"The only place in London where one can forget that it is Sunday."

"Don't send a poet to London."

"The monster London laugh at me."

"Goss and Bennett …trained him to make Europe yawn; and he took advantage of their training to makeLondon and New York laugh and whistle."

"London is a splendid place to live in for those who can get out of it."

"One must be in London to see the spring."

Maybe it's because I'm a Londoner, That I love London so; Maybe it's because I'm a Londoner, That I think of her wherever I go. I get a funny feeling inside of me, Just walking up and down; Maybe it's because I'm a Londoner, That I love London town.
