Morning light pools on wet cobbles as a black cab slides away from Trafalgar Square, the driver's voice low with local stories and shortcuts. In a single day the city opens like a map: palace gates and parliamentary facades, the river carving a bright ribbon between georgian terraces and the glass teeth of the financial district. The cab negotiates narrow lanes and wide boulevards, pausing at viewpoints where the Thames dares you to cross and the skyline pushes your attention up to dome and spire.
