The first step in enjoying London to the full is submitting to its chaos. Its baffling street plan appears to have been designed by a madman, its public transport seems to be run by lunatics and the residents rush around as if the police were after them. This however is all part of its unique charm. Your best bet is to relax, stay out of commuters’ way, and look up. For above the hustle of the street, the gorgeous façades of the city’s past glory oversee it all.
