cities have rhythms
That may be so, but I live in London and do not recognize the simplistic description of the London rhythm (I mean "the guards at Buckingham" - really?)
- thicknavyrain 8y agoI've never noticed the guards changing when going through town. What I /have/ noticed is the swell of tourists that surrounds the gates every time it's happening and how it always seems to be when I'm trying to pass through, but maybe that's too personal a grievance...

- sorokod 8y agoHaving thought about this a bit - it is naive/arrogant to claim that some essence of a huge, varied and nuanced city such as London can be captured in a single paragraph. The blog, anyway, is nowhere near.
