I have once visited London, about seven years ago. I was there only for a few days, so I visited some main attractions. Reading Chesterton's novel 'The Napoleon of Notting Hill', I really want to go back, to stroll through the different parts of town and sense the differences in atmosphere.
Of course, I realize that London probably changed much since Chesterton walked around there. I reckon those lanterns that are so beautifully described, and that play such a vital role in the defence of Notting Hill, do not run on gas anymore. Still, I would love to revisit London and see it again, as I see it now through Chesterton's eyes.
