Like the other bidding cities, we will be our making final efforts to communicate the essential message of the London bid. We arrived here early to allow us to focus on finalizing our presentation.

London has changed since Pup started Annabel's, ... It was all terribly English, but now London is multicultural and we have tried to reflect that. Every six weeks we have a concert.

There were all these stories that Jude and Sienna used to come here, but I don't think they ever have.

London has such an unbelievable respect for theater, where L.A. does not. You go to a play here, and the dude next to you is sleeping.

Manchester is the centre of Britain, we're only ever going to do this once so it makes sense to do it somewhere in the middle of the country. London gets all the gigs.
