A strange Metropolis

My view of London our great Metropolis on a good day

Driving through the streets of London, it brings home to you just how old our Capital City is... Wonderful Architecture both hidden & overt, weird street names, a mix of restaurants offering cuisine from all over the world, nice taxicab, white van & bus drivers that nicely move out of the way for us when we're on Lights & Sirens.. Tourists & pedestrians.. Royal Parks, shops & public transport.. Londinium is a rich mix of culture & business... One day can be quite exhausting but refreshing too...

And on a bad day

Driving through the streets of London, it brings home to you just how old & dirty our Capital City is... Old derelict unsafe Architecture both hidden & overt, poxy narrow over congested streets, a mix of restaurants offering condemned meat & kebabs from all over the world, rude ignorant & arrogant taxicab, white van & bus drivers that do not move out of the way for us when we're on Lights & Sirens & sometimes purposely block our way .. Tourists & pedestrians that ask silly questions & directions when you're carrying a patient to the ambulance.. Royal Parks that are mostly cruising grounds & areas for the rich to keep fit & ride their horses , overpriced shops & public transport that's always late, filthy & expensive.. Londinium is a poor mix of culture that finds it hard to cooperate with each other resulting in segregated areas & business's that are undercutting each other at the expense of their employees... One day can be quite exhausting...
