Love London?


Londoners are being asked to sum up why they love the Capital in just one sentence, and it appears the city's diversity, history and energy is inspiring many of you to get creative. Those who have been most successful in encapsulating London in just a few words can now see their quote being featured on the Underground as part of an advertising campaign. Well, Tube advertiser CBS Outdoor is still accepting ideas for a new wave of quotes to appear on the Underground. To enter, all you have to do is become a fan of 'CBS Londoner' on Facebook and post your quote on the wall. Perhaps you're drawn to the capital's melting pot of cultures, its art, its resilience or remarkable people.




"Maybe it's because you can carry your designer handbag, morning Starbucks, copy of 'The Metro', umbrella and work files, all whilst listening to your iPod and emailing on your Blackberry, and still stride confidently along the station platform in your four-inch work stilettos." Suzie Bryce


"The rainy autumn days, staring up at buildings steeped in history knowing that you're wandering through the greatest city on earth." Alexander Gowing
"Each determined step through London beckons you further into its decadent web of history, art, culture and geography until you find yourself willingly entangled and stood waiting on the Tube that leads you onto your next magical destination once more. Addicted." Lesley-Jane Dyson
"London - many worlds, one epic city. History and future meets at every corner." Ziv Stadler
"In London you're always only a few minutes away from something big, be it historically, personally or just literally." Jack Benzie
"London is where you can eat your way around the world without having to buy the airline ticket." Anairda La Tana
"It's amazing how you wake up in the morning, walkout the door, see the same things/people, yet notice something new everyday. And you just fall in love with the city all over again... It's a never-ending love affair :)" Anjana Menon
"Born in London, live in London, work in London, play in London, love the buzz and all the things I can do, see, hear, taste... you get me?" Helen Bronstein
"Sorry - no time to tell you why I love London - must dash to meet up with my friends, try out the new cafĂ© down the road, catch that exhibition, get the theatre tickets... and (of course) buy something to wear." Diana Rossborough
"I love London because it has an incandescent energy and multifaceted charm. It can feel elusive and infinite, but no matter who you are in this life, if you love London, it will love you right back!" Tracy Price
