South Of London: In music, there are not two, not four, but six orchestras of symphonic quality, namely: London Symphony, Royal Philharmonic, London Philharmonic, Philharmonia, the New London and the BB Symphony. And in at least two provincial cities, Manchester and Liverpool, there are equally fine orchestras. The Halle Orchestra of Manchester is known everywhere. A summer musical diversion of great popularity with tourists is the series of Promenade Concerts at the Royal Albert Hall, but the hall is as old as its Victorian name. To give yourself a musical treat in one of the finest concert halls in Europe be sure to attend some event in the splendid Festival Hall on the south of london bank of the Thames.
To the south of london and east of this province lie two provinces of low relief-East Anglia, where broad, low-lying fenlands (marshlands) cut by drainage dykes have either been reclaimed from the sea or emerged in the geologically recent up-life of the land relative to the sea; and south of londoneastern England, where the broad, flat features begin to change to an east-west grain, well defined by the axis of the topographic basin in which London is situated, the Hampshire basin, and the low-lying center of the Weald of Kent, flanked by the North and south of london Downs.
