A cold evening in London tightens the breath and lights bloom along glass and stone: shopfronts, red buses, and a string of bulbs over narrow streets. Start beneath the glow of Piccadilly and move into pockets of the city where tradition and new arrivals meet — Chinatown’s lanterns, a mosque’s silhouette against Regent’s Park, and the low stone of Roman and Norman walls that still mark the city’s spine.
