LONDON SOUTH, SOUTH EAST, ALONG THE "NEW" THAMES RIVER
The city moves south-east, beacause Thames is not only a river, it's a twenty years of whirling history, from Roman Londinium to the storeroom/warehouse of the British Empire's where ships freight with slaves, sugar cane and Caribbean rum shored. Than the river was almost forgotten by the city, till a decade ago when it become a sparkling icon of the city's new look. That is always moving down south and east, from the cultural centers of South Bank to the glass and steel towers of Canary Wharf, the dock's new geographic and ideologic heart.
