[@videowilliams]

Yes, so much of its image as projected in mass media seems to be grey, grim and depressing, yet I see a piece like this and think "it actually looks quite nice" :D I might visit this year.

[@stickyrickify]

It was very dirty back in the day. I remember visiting as a kid and they were cleaning years of grime off the old buildings, they were black and the cleaning revealed the sandstone colours. Now the coal has gone and even diesel being phased out in the city it is getting cleaner.

There is an amusing malapropism in the narration at 3.00. The narrator says that London's irregular street layouts "exasperated the issue." To exasperate means to irritate or annoy. The word they wanted was "exacerbate,' meaning to make something worse. Interesting video and charming host.

One of the most significant effects of the pandemic is the decrease in demand after office space and increase in distance work. These will probably be lasting effects. Maybe it's better to take care of the already existing buildings or expand the parks. Make the city more resilient against flooding.

i was in london last week and stayed in a hotel 2 minutes away from The Tower. Canon street and Eastcheap are full with offices (with few pubs).

I used to work in NYC, and there were times when the wind was very strong at street level. It was not easy to walk especially during the winter months when there would be some ice or slush on the walkways. The wind would come out of the west and then be funneled and accelerated between the buildings. As you walked across an intersection the wind might even change direction as a different set of buildings had influence. Gosh, I didn't like it very much in winter.
