Michelin Green Guide London

From the Michelin Green Guides series.

The capital of the United Kingdom, once the capital of a worldwide empire, is composed of many villages fused into a vast conurbation, where tradition contrasts with cosmopolitan modernity. The city was founded on the country's major river; "every drop of the Thames is liquid history" from the old docks below the city to the greener reaches upstream.

Successive styles of architecture are represented in the churches and palaces, public buildings and private houses. Between Westminster and the City, the twin poles of government and commerce, are the major theatres and concert halls. The museums and art galleries display rich collections of treasures from all over the world. The parks and gardens and the extensive open acres of Hyde Park, Hampstead Heath and Richmond Park provide recreation and relaxation for all.

The pace of change, however, has quickened all over the capital. Exciting new attractions, innovative building and renovation projects and a vibrant scene in the worlds of art, fashion, music and cinema attest to a dynamic outlook to mark the third millennium. London also boasts restaurants and entertainment venues reflecting its multicultural population.
