  London Gold Exchange
Jack London came to the East End of London in 1902, and "The People of the Abyss" is the result of his investigative journalism that paints a vivid and disturbing portrait.
London posed as a stranded American sailor, sleeping in doss houses and living with the destitute and starving - the record of what he sawthere remains as powerful today as it was then.

 Internet Exchange Point - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
An Internet exchange point (IX or IXP) is a physical infrastructure that allows different Internet Service Providers (ISPs) to exchange Internet traffic between their networks (autonomous systems) by means of mutual peering agreements, which allow traffic to be exchanged without cost.
Traffic passing through an exchange is typically not billed by any party, whereas traffic to an ISP's upstream provider is. The direct interconnection, often located in the same city as both networks, avoids data from having to travel to other cities (potentially other continents) to get from one network to another, thus reducing latency.
At the more expensive exchanges, participants pay a monthly fee, usually determined by the speed of the port or ports which they're using, or much less commonly by the volume of traffic which they're passing across the exchange, though that's unpopular because it provides a counterincentive to growth of the exchange.

 London - Enpsychlopedia
London's large built-up area creates a microclimate, with heat stored by the city's buildings: sometimes temperatures are 5°C (9°F) warmer in the city than in the surrounding areas.
London is one of the "big four" fashion capitals (alongside Paris, New York City, Milan, and sometimes Tokyo) and is home to some of the finest haute couture in the world.
London's two Anglican bishops are the Bishop of London, whose see is London north of the Thames, and whose throne is in London's grandest church, the baroque St Paul's Cathedral (designed by Sir Christopher Wren), and the Bishop of Southwark, who tends to Anglicans south of the river.

Internet traffic travelling through the UK's main peering centre for ISPs has passed the 6 Gigabits per second milestone.

Here consumers should have the technological means to tailor the nature of their, or their family's, experience on the Internet according to their individual standards; thus supporting both individual responsibility and the Internet's traditions of diversity and free speech.
They need to implement reasonable, practicable and proportionate measures to hinder the use of the Internet for illegal purposes, and to provide a response mechanism in cases where illegal material or activity is identified.
In addition, they further provide the means by which Internet users can protect themselves and their families from exposure to material which, while legal, they find offensive.

 Q&A: John Souter, chief executive, London Internet Exchange
The vast majority of UK internet traffic passes through Linx's network of high-performance switches, housed in eight locations around the capital, mainly in the Docklands area.
Voice-over-IP is an interesting development for an internet exchange because you start to see traffic that wants to have some priority.
It could be an awful lot of data to ship, in packets that want to get to their destination very directly, rather than the normal internet thing where it all gets there and reassembles eventually.
