Andrew Gumbel was born in a small corner of that great expanse, the London suburbs. Having fallen in love with London at the tender age of 10, he has been trying to make sense of it ever since. A journalist and travel writer, he has spent lengthy periods abroad as a foreign correspondent for The Guardian and The Independent. He currently resides in Los Angeles.
'Buckingham Palace, nestled comfortably in the centre of green parkland, is the heart of Royal London. Creamy mansions, ceremonial avenues and leafy parks provide a grand backdrop to the pomp and circumstance which accompanies any royal event. Oddly, the least flamboyant building of all is Buckingham Palace, which began as a modest little mansion and doesn't seem quite able to shake off its origins, despite countless extra wings and flounces.'
