“And what is a city if not people?” The energetic and eccentric mayor of London, Boris Johnson, represents the history of this city, ancient and modern, whose glory was created by Alfred the Great, William the Conqueror, Geoffrey Chaucer, William Shakespeare, Samuel Johnson, John Wilkes, William Turner, Lionel Rothschild, Winston Churchill and other legendary personality. Architecture, engineering, finance, medicine, literature, painting, music - Londoners had their say in all spheres of human activity without exception. Many generations of Londoners built this garden city - some of them were geniuses whose ideas transformed the world, but most unknown to us. They left to their descendants much more than a conglomeration of magnificent buildings, views and transport systems. These men created what the Romans aspired to two millennia before them—a “global brand,” a reputation that encourages people from all over the world to flock to London in search of what makes life tick.
