I’ve lived in London and its environs for a large portion of
my adult life. And still this city never
ceases to delight – in the quotidian details that are nonetheless classical and
often enigmatic to someone not well studied in English history (like me, unfortunately). One of the strangest places – a twenty minute
journey from our house in Kew - is Southbank.
When I first arrived here it was dreary and certainly not much of a
destination in itself, despite the National and Hayward. Today it’s like a hive of commerce and circus of creative activity - quite a transformation. In fact, with the Eye, it’s now achieved
iconic status.
