Skylight, New Lights on London


“By seeing London, I have seen as much of life as the world can show.”                                                           (Samuel Johnson)

The City of the cultural revolution, of hedonism, of Dr. Martens ™, of rebellion. The Beatles, then Punk, Mary Quant and Twiggy ... but also tradition with the Royal Family and double-decker buses. London is an exceptional mix of everything and nothing, full and empty. Iconic, cheeky and always swinging.

Many of its approximately 9 million inhabitants are of foreign origin, making it one of the most cosmopolitan and multi-ethnic in the world. London was the epicenter of the British Empire, has 9 airports and the oldest underground system (The Tube), the largest in Europe. It was the site of the first Universal Exhibition in 1851 and is today the third most visited city in the world for international tourism.
