London - 1994 - 7/10

“… if he looked hard enough, the surface of the city revealed historic events, through which he hoped to see into the future …”

A rather elegiac journey through London of 1992 with our narrator and his unseen companion, Robinson.
The tone is bleak, refecting the liberal mentality of the time, as the Tories begin to appear unbeatable.

Predictions are made of what shall be cast aside, what classes will suffer
A wonderful, moody time capsule as futures and possibilities seemed to constrict for many.
In a few years, New Labour would splash into power and herald Cool Britannia.
And outlooks would brighten, if for a few turns of the world.

“London was the first metropolis to disappear.”
