London is the beating heart of England with a wealth of tradition that is unique to the iconic capital, from the guarding ravens of the Tower of London to the decorated pearly kings and queens, where every London borough has its own royalty. Samuel Johnson’s assessment in 1777 still holds true today, “When a man is tired of London, he is tired of life.” Amid a pomp and pageantry steeped in centuries-old tradition, the city straddling the Thames thrives in the modern world, standing as a major cultural hub. Today, these colossal buildings still command awe and reverence.
