"The Queen is not allowed to enter the City of London without a formal ceremony undertaken by the Lord Mayor. This ceremony recognises the Queen's authority, but the right of the City to handle its own affairs."

I love the buzz of the City at dusk and the stunning architecture along the cityscape. It really makes me excited to live in London.

When walking across stunning Millennium Bridge, it always makes me feel like a tourist in my own city.
