…

first written account, which referenced the city dates back to the 13th century

its Gamla Stan ( Old Town) is of medieval origins,  lined with cobblestone roads

…

picturesque vistas:

sea scenary-    tranquil waters, boats, sail ships

stately architectural structures-   public buildings and royal palaces

exteriors of residential dwellings painted in muted hues of orange and yellow

…

city of the Nobel Prize awards ceremony

…

monetary unit is the krona (kr)

…

shopping areas of vintage shops, designer boutiques and

Swedish labels-  Acne Studios, Flippa K., Cheap Monday,

Tiger of Sweden and others

…

a java lover’s paradise!:

an abundance of excellent coffee houses

delicious pasteries:

there’s even a “Chewy Cake Day”, celebrated on 7 November-

the chocolate chewy cake is the best,  yum!

…

rich in galleries and museums–

Nationalmuseum (the national gallery), presently closed for renovative works,

is home to a permanent collection of works dating from the medieval era to

modern / contemporary pieces

From east to west

from north to south

and every way betwixt,

on which way the eye alight-

cranes of pulley, rope and metal skeletal

tower above the London skyline.

Seemingly of menace,

they build nests of concrete and steel-

reconfiguring the urban landscape.

 

…

London Town
