Gerald and Marc Hoberman's "London" is the very quintessence of
this great city, an incisive manifestation of surprise and delight.
It is a celebration and an important record of England's capital at
the dawn of the new millennium. The well-known comment of Samuel
Johnson, 'When a man is tired of London, he is tired of life', is
as true today as it was in 1777. Johnson went on to say, 'for there
is in London all that life can afford', which also still holds
good. It is a city which bursts with museums and galleries, some of
which are amongst the finest in the world; it has one of the
highest number of theatres found in any capital city; it is a
shopper's paradise for the discerning buyer and bargain-hunter
alike; its pubs, clubs and restaurants are numerous, varied and
legendary; and it has vast expanses of parkland for recreation and
leisure. London is a city of immense size, where the old and the
new live comfortably cheek by jowl. Pageantry, modern technology,
quaint customs, the latest in fashion, ancient traditions, the
bustle of modern-day life, the tranquillity of a garden square,
international finance, street traders and architectural
masterpieces appear to have been thrown into a vast melting pot and
have survived to provide an irresistible medley of ancient and
modern. "London", in both pictures and words, speaks for itself.
