		Although the policy on creating elected mayors outside of London was to come several years later, Labour entered government in 1997 with a clear commitment to restore elected city-wide government to Greater London via a new form of civic leadership, with a directly-elected Mayor of London and a constituent Assembly to scrutinise him or her.

	NYSL Travels: Virginia Woolf's London (Marylin Bender) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Virginia Woolf was an ardent walker and, as though London were her living room, she undertook serious conversations with friends while they were outdoors.
		Woolf was energized by the glitter and bustle of Oxford Street and the clash of market peddler and elite cultures in Covent Garden where she dined at The Ivy and attended performances at the Royal Opera House.
		Bond Street fascinated her; Bond Street early in the morning in the season; its flags flying; its shops; no splash; no glitter; one roll of tweed in the shop where her father had bought his suits for fifty years; a few pearls; salmon on an iceblock.

	Streets of London: St John Street, EC1 - Features - London - Time Out London
		The Georgian terraces at the north end (Nos 310–324 and 372–390 on the east side, 347–365 and 383–399 on the west) represent the longest stretches of a single style; the rest of the street is an alluring jumble.
		This diversity has much to do with the street’s old age (which is also the reason for its wobbly trajectory, apparent on a street map in comparison to nearby Goswell and City Roads).
		The architectural confusion makes it difficult to divide St John Street into natural sections, but, in general, the southern end is dominated by converted factories and warehouses, now largely housing offices and the odd restaurant or pub.

	Tower of London (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		The Tower of London is really an 18-acre castle that started with a boxy four-story building that eventually was surrounded by several rings of fortifications -- somewhat like ripples in a pond when a rock disturbs its serene surface.
		At lower left is the Traitor's Gate where most prisoners entered the fort during the days when London streets weren't much and most travel was by the Thames.
		William the Conqueror located his first castle here to control the pool of London, a key commercial stretch that featured nearly wall-to-wall ships until shipping containers made the area obsolete in the 1960s.

		Britain is one of the most modern, vibrant and exciting countries with London proclaiming itself the cultural capital of the world.
		With its multi-ethnic communities, its rich communal traditions and artistic heritage, Britain has nevertheless changed more in the last thirty years than in the previous two centuries, with more voices demanding to be heard and a mass popular culture which both reflects and directs the British sense of identity.
		From Hanif Kureishi's Buddha of Suburbia to Coronation Street (the longest running television soap opera), city life and community will be related to the challenges of multi-culturalism and ethnicity, the counter culture lifestyle of Irvine Welsh's Trainspotting to the conservative vision of Midsomer Murders.
