The metropolis attracts tourists from all over the world, yet at the same time it has proved remarkably able to preserve its British character.Admittedly, since the end of the Empire, it has lost its pre-eminent position in the world (though the City remains one of the centres of world finance), but its beauty, grandeur and charm are still hard to surpass.
