In the nineteenth century Wordsworth was struck by a feature of England's great city that still distinguishes the place. It has parks that thread through the urban complex city from one end to another. They help to make one feel that one is in the countryside when one is in the heart of the city. In recent years environmental sensibilities have improved the parks even further. Grass is allowed to grow to seed so that insects and small animals can live with human beings a stone's throw from the Houses of Parliament.
It is not only the parks that create a feeling of openness in the city. People, in all their variety and unique differences, roam freely through the streets in a sort of stage full of a passing throng. Despite current and past efforts to suppress freedom it somehow remains palpable in the city.

Diners and connoisseurs of fine food are certainly not limited to boiled British cabbage and beef. On the contrary the variety and quality of cuisine is world class. One can find online a restaurant of choice and get there easily. After dining one can go on to sample night life or entertainment of great variety.

The decision has been taken to build an Olympic center, but to make the city itself the general venue for events.
