Show r- London's Chief Charm London owes much of Its charm and fascination to its plan, or rather Its lack of a plan. Much of It was built before the days of town plannlng'and before the Invention : of the deadly "gridiron" which 'makes . hideous so niany American cities, "and as London's Lon-don's streets, squares, places and lanes developed apparently by no fixed plan, the buildings which face them were built with apparent defiance defi-ance of all rules of architecture, and yet they possess charm and distinction distinc-tion which It would be difficult to secure today, when the world's building build-ing customs are changed, and design itself is in a state of flux. |
