Hi, hello!
I'm Boris Johnson and I'm the Mayor of London. As a kid we used to love going to
the British Museum and I would spend hours loitering in the Duveen
Gallery looking at the Elgin Marbles.
There are so many unbelievable
jewels in London and
all sorts of things to enjoy. It's very very
important to see the Tower of London, the biggest building
that we have remaining from Norman times
so go and see the Tower of London, go and see the the crown jewels.
And then you've got the biggest modern art museums in the world.
Tate Modern has more visitors than any other museum.
There is more green space in London
than in any city in the world.
Do you know what I like doing? I'm getting on my bike and cycling
east through Victoria Park, right the way to the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park,
which is now connected up to the rest of East London
and coming up in the most extraordinary way.
I particularly like walking
down the canal, I take my wife
we walk down for a purpose, which is not just that it's romantic and beautiful,
but because there is a pub called Narrow Boat
which sells fantastic sausage and mash.
London is very different from any other city in the world,
in that I think it's gentler,
and the architecture is unbelievably interesting.
All the historic stuff is set off by this very very daring
21st century modern stuff and it's absolutely beautiful to look at
as you can see today.
And nowhere else is like that.
