London Tales: The Core of a City

By Lilia R. Corcoram

To walk along a city always depicts encounters with the known as well as the unknown: the beauty and the ugliness; that which transcends, and that which results meaningless.To walk in a city as London, with its almost 2000 years of existence is, and will always be a full exciting adventure.Not only History, which is attached to each one of its historical monuments, museums, streets, houses and parks. But the atmosphere, the environment which floats over, forming scenery composed of every important fact that took place there.Its people: Londoners, which inherited one way or another all its historical and cultural magnificence, and everything that gave form to this city as it now is. Foreigners; who have brought in, their own baggage of the good and bad of their cultures. Tourists; who have walked its streets amazed at what they see. All of them had left a lasting indelible mark which will always subsist.Founded around 43 to 50 A.C. by the Romans, it has survived: plagues, fires, battles, wars. As well as the multitude of hazardous events which had happened in there.The richness of the English heritage, plus all the additions of its multinational population, make of it a unique sample of the modern complexity called -CITY-Twice I ve lived there. I have discovered its essence in many forms. I fell in love with it These stories are part of the impressions thereby received. Of the many things I saw and could observe.My wish is therefore, to give a testimony of London s very many diverse faces.
