El mejor modo de disfrutar del encanto de Londres es ir paseando o sentado en el piso superior de un bus. Ninguna otra ciudad en el mundo se presta más a callejear ni permite descubrir tal multitudd de cosas interesantes, pequeñas o grandes. Graham Byfield ha sabido captar el espíritu de esta ciudad y sus impresiones han quedado recogidas en este libro.

Londres es la más antigua de todas las grandes ciudades modernas, con miles de monumentos del pasado, que se ha convertido en un destino turístico lleno de vida y muy solicitado. Es una ciudad tan variada y cosmopolita que ofrece un amplio abanico de oportunidades. Los turistas suelen pasar por las visitas recomendadas a tal velocidad que no captan la esencia de la ciudad. Hay que tomarse las cosas con calma y no intentar verlo todo (es imposible), deteniendose en aquello que es realmente caracteristico de la ciudad. Durante uno o dos dias hay que olvidarse de museos, monumentos y concurridas tiendas del West End y dedicarse a vagar entre los puestos de los mercados callejeros, a pasear por un parque y a saborear una pinta de cerveza en un pub cualquiera. Londres es hoy una ciudad europea, abierta y cosmopolita. Las grandes instituciones como el Museo Britanico, La Torre de Londres, los museos de South Kensington y la Royal Opera House se han restaurado o estan en proceso de restauracion; se han recuperado los antiguos muelles y la orilla sur del rio, una zona muy animada hoy en dia. Pero los que ya conocieran Londres comprobaran que la ciudad sigue conservando sus caracteristicas señas de identidad: las placitas tranquilas llenas de hojas; los parques, las innumerables iglesias pequeñas y perfectamente conservadas, los pubs y las tiendas.
