London has such a star field. I'm going there to concentrate on the racing and if all goes well, the (fast) time will come.

London has such an unbelievable respect for theater, where L.A. does not. You go to a play here, and the dude next to you is sleeping.

London has changed since Pup started Annabel's, ... It was all terribly English, but now London is multicultural and we have tried to reflect that. Every six weeks we have a concert.

There were all these stories that Jude and Sienna used to come here, but I don't think they ever have.

London 'Harry Potter' premieres are very special events: There is this sense of love and ownership and pride, and it's just palpable. It's a very different feel from an L.A. premiere. It's nice to be a part of something that's so positive.

London had so much death in its history, it was hard to find a spot without spirits. They formed a safety net. Still, you had to hope the ones you got were good.

London deserves better than this. We can't believe that, with the clock ticking, there are no talks and no plans for talks.

Like the other bidding cities, we will be our making final efforts to communicate the essential message of the London bid. We arrived here early to allow us to focus on finalizing our presentation.

Manchester is the centre of Britain, we're only ever going to do this once so it makes sense to do it somewhere in the middle of the country. London gets all the gigs.

Though the Hotmail hoax is now in its 14th month at the top of the chart, it has fallen in volume by 20% from July - though this may be explained by the reduction in user activity, ...

The pick up in activity levels and prices over the final quarter has created optimism that values will continue to rise slowly over the year ahead. The recovery in London is set to continue and spread to the Southeast over the year.

I went to London to do the stuff. I was like "What am I going to do? What's going to happen?" But then once you start working, you forget all that and you start enjoying what you're doing.
