Routes, maps and itineraries have been especially created, providing keys to London across time, in the hope of bringing you closer to a city that can seem distant and indifferent, yet upon inspection celebrates diversity, insists upon acceptance and thrives on exuberant discussion. To be a Londoner you only need step foot here, and charge along with the rest of the crowd, flowing through the 'Unreal City'.
