Peter Ackroyd's London: East versus West End.

[transonicbuoy1]

Greatness, avenues, endless traffic. I lived it for 16 years, you can take what you like, and miss what you choose. You can have different lives in different places. Endless.

"Often, they seize hold of you in such a fashion of which I can give you the best notion by the fact that I say nothing about it!"

*s* I'm a cockney and there's only one "end" in London - the east end. the west end is [or was] always "the other end" and one always went "up" there - going up the other end for a show, or a meal, whatever. I presume the "up" referred to social rather than topographical climbing!

Truly the greatest city on Earth.
