"I have seen it and am still astonished - forever will there remain fixed indelibly on my memory the stone forest of houses amid which flows the rushing stream of faces of living men with all their varied passions and all their terrible impulses of love, of hunger and of hatred - I mean London." So vast is London that people who live in one part of London know little or nothing about another; and can easily lose their way in the labyrinth of unfamiliar streets. In 1881 John Bright said: "I have spent six months there every year for forty years, and yet I know nothing about it.
