Look at London in 2008, and you’ll see a place in the midst of an electrifying reinvention. The food scene, a global joke just 10 years ago, now goes head-to-head with New York and Paris. It’s the proud home of the gastropub, where English food has been refined and elevated. An
emerging art scene in the formerly gritty East End has transformed it into Europe’s premier destination for ambitious talent and hungry collectors alike. The centuries-old theater community produces many of the world’s greatest actors, and top architects clamor to leave their mark on a skyline that’s morphing at the speed of light. Even defining traditions, such as high tea, bespoke tailoring, and fish 'n’ chips, have been glammed up to match London’s new face.
