The many impersonal places that now purely exist to facilitate tourists were once important parts of the life of the average Londoner. One can see smoke from the Bankside Power Station (now the Tate-Modern), the ability for cars to navigate their way around, and a great many buildings and sites that have since been ruthlessly redeveloped. I wonder what you will recognize, or, more to the point, what you will not.
