When a man is tired of London, he is tired of life; for there is in London all that life can afford, said Samuel Johnson in 1777. Since then, the capital has been characterised variously as a 'riddle', a 'cesspool', and a 'modern Babylon'. Both Londoners and visitors alike have continued to share their candid views of this great city in a variety of literary forms.
