There are certain unhappy individuals who take no pleasure in London. Such are frightened by its immensity, a magnitude that emphasises the emptiness of the heart. The city is too big for them, a mere desert of bricks and mortar… This reserved, esoteric city, which discloses its secrets only to those worthy of its regard.

Geoffrey Fletcher, 1962, The London Nobody Knows. (Link)
