Stretched over 1500 kilo meters with over 8
million population London, the Capital of England is set over River Thames in
real life. The London City at Second Life has tried to bring a small part of
London’s favorite attractions for its residents. Torric Rodas and Billy
Arentire have tried their best to bring and relive London in Second Life. A
community in itself, London City is one of the most favoured destinations in
Second Life. With total traffic over 78,846; over thousands of residents visit
the place every day. There are residential properties and commercial complexes
which attract people from all over the world.

When we teleport, we first enter the Soho and
Regent Park which overlooks a circular public meeting area surrounded by the
megastores. One such store is the freebie store which is a great attraction.
Night clubs, pubs, music venues make the place a live even at night. It is a
place for showbiz. As we walk along the paved pathway, we see the beautiful Big
Ben, towering to the sky, a true replication of real life followed by the Tower
Bridge on River Thames. While walking along, subconsciously, I sang the nursery
rhyme, “London Bridge is falling down, my fair lady.”
It was in the evening, the sun was going down
and a rainbow drew its colors across the skies. The shimmering, glistening
water invited us to try boating along the river. Ironically, another nursery
rhyme purged my thoughts, “Row your boat gently down the stream merrily life is
but a dream.” Following the river, we crossed the bridge, entering the shopping
society.

make ups, accessories etc. scored the area. Few main stores and few satellite
shops with a total of 70 shops are located in the area. After a row of shops,
residential apartments and complexes start. One may rent these apartments and
houses or rent a parcel of land. The available properties with variable prices

Among the above, newest attractions that have
been added are the Broadcasting Centre, Litter Bins and the High Gate Cemetery.
The litter bins amused me the most as they are spread across the area where
people might throw away amazing things, sometimes even dump money. It is kind
of fun to check these bins around the land.
To sum up, London City is a great place to meet and greet, have fun or
event go hunting and shopping. Walk along the roads, row a boat or travel in
tour buses to explore, visit or live here.
