#London is not a place but a feeling. Whilst present, one's thoughts gravitate to that of other lands. But, when finally in other lands, one's thoughts remain in London.
Stood waiting for a cab, and I noticed a woman waiting beside me in the cold. I offer her my cab so she doesn't have to wait in the cold, but as she tried to get in, two eastern European men attempted to push in front of her and would have succeeded if I'd not said something. Manners and culture go hand in hand. Thus, our current culture seems void of manners.
When someone asks me which "#London" building I HATE the most, I instantaneously reply by naming the Shard. Not only is it a horrifically revolting, incomplete pyramid, but it's decimated our skyline to the same level as the entire 'city of London'. When photographers or painters come to London, be they from France or America, they should experience a skyline unlike any other, not a place that looks like a wannabe Dubai. Now, all they'll see is a group of monsters that not only cloud our view but the very soul of London itself.
