Trafalgar Square / The Strand

The hawkers came and removed the flying rats and lo! the Square was clean and visible. This ain’t Mary Poppins—don’t feed the birds, you dirty tourists. Instead go to Terroirs and pretend you know a lot about wine. Eat at Wahaca, one of London’s few good Mexicans, then walk it off on Waterloo Bridge and watch the sun set over the Thames. Aah. That’s why you love London.
